Default new tires, but wheels where ruined..

i ordered two new 245/45/18's and they arrived in less than a week. theres a hobby shop on the base that i work so i took my wheels off and took them to this guy at the hobbyshop to switch out the tires.. well he managed to destroy the finish on both rear wheels, and acted like they where fine when i had asked him why he kept going after scratching the first wheel. there are rings around the outside of the wheels where there was metal on metal contact. and when he was pushing the tire off with the machine, i watched him not even check before he pushed the button for the hydraulics and the machine pushed down right on the edge of my wheel. so basically my wheels finish is ruined, so i was wondering if there are suggestions as to what to do with the ones that i have now, considering that i dont want to spenk 1k on new wheels at this very moment. they look bad and i am looking for a temporary fix to hold me over until i can afford some wheels. ill try to include pics to show the damage.
