Default What should I do

I blew a tire the other day so i went to Merchants and got them to put on a 205/40/17 tire on, I just brought the rim since I couldnt drive the car. So I drop the rim off around 5 or 6 and at 730 it was done, I put the rim on in the dark and I noticed that there was a scrape on the rim it was no small scratch but it looked like a power gun slipped and scraped the hole where the lug nut goes through. I bring it back the next day and they said that it was there already just like i thought they would, I told them how could i do it when i took it off by using a hand wrench. I gave the rim to the manager and he said that he didn't notice anything extravagant like a scrape like that. So he is giving me the weekend to think of what they could do. I called the place where the dealership got my rims from and they said that the rims were discontinued. It cant be fixed so..... Should i just go for it and see if i can get new rims for it??? lemme know what ya'll think. Sorry for this thing being so long.
