Yes -- this was a big inconvenience but still everything was taken care of and I am still a happy Infiniti customer!
Glad to see they are taking care of you!!

Do these new wheels include new tires? If that's the case then I'm going to tell my dealership to wash them maybe I'll get a new pair of wheels and new tires to match.

Good idea but I dont think the dealer would do that.

3 days after I picked up my car, I noticed one of my rear wheels with an 8 inch curb rash. It may or may not have been there when I took delivery but I've only had it for 3 days. (Must've missed it when we did the inspection checklist before I drove it off the lot) So, I showed it to my salesman and he spoke with someone at service department and told them to replace it "under warranty".

Do yourself a favor and mark the damaged wheels before you drop the car off for the replacements.
It wouldn't surprise me if they tried to pass off refinished wheels as new.

Isn't the wash they do before more like a full fledged detail vs just throwing some water on it and drying it with a dirty rag?

^ yep what he said... and wheel cleaner on new rims is totally uneccessary. I would only use it on steel wheels that have no clear coat surface at all. Never put anything on your rims that you wouldn't put on the paint on the car.

That's why I never let anyone else wash my car other than myself.
