not going to affect tyre mounting since the interior face of the rim looks undamaged

If it was very expensive and/or you're a big tart, send it back

The only thing I was worried about was it damaging the tyre when under load, it's a CX wheel so the odd tree rooty bump, but thinking if I clean any burrs off and use some black nail polish to fill, it will be fine.

It was a warranty replacement upgrade, so essentially cost me nothing. So while I am bit miffed, as long as there is no risk of it damage to the tyre, I am fine with it.

I'd send it back, it'd annoy me.

....aaaaand there is that. As regardless of them being a upgrade replacement. They should still be in one piece.

Only problem is, they are on backorder with the distributors, so sending them back could mean a long wait, hopefully know how long tomorrow, and no bike till it's sorted.

The other issue is that the reason I got some 'better' wheels is that the originals were not available for a 3 weeks. So to get me on the road quicker, I was offered a higher spec wheelset. If I take these back and it's going to be a similar timeframe, there may be a chance I may end up with the lower spec wheels as they will be in stock then as well.
