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.

Either that or they screwed it up some how? I believe you are not supposed to go above 40 psi to seat the bead. If the bead wouldn't seat properly then that may have caused an issue, however the question is what caused the bead not to want to seat?
