They said if Costco won't take it back (unlikely) then they'll buy the damaged one off me.
They are apparently going to give me 16" alloys for $70 each instead (less than $30/wheel upgrade cost after I return the steelies), and I'll be done with the hassle for a good few years.

Sounds like they just wanted you to buy their rims instead. Call up any actual tire shop and they'll tell you that they fit no problem.
