I bought a set of painted from him. They were perfect, until I had tires mounted on them, which marred the wheels where the tire machine clamps the wheel (good shops have machines or installers who can mount a tire without damaging your wheels). If yours have identical marks on the inside and the packages have no damage, they probably had tires mounted on them, which makes them used, though possibly never mounted on a vehicle. You should go after him for at least a partial refund if you want to keep the wheels.
