Is anyone going to argue that I should have paid that?
If it was in Germany, it's par for the course. TÜV wheel regulations are super strict there, a price you (literally) pay for having de-restricted Autobahn. As far as I know, of that wheel got damaged in any way, it cannot be repaired, and must be replaced with a TÜV approved wheel.
