Was this at a VW dealer? How bad was the damage? What was the turn around time for repair?
If possible, check the part numbers of the wheels, there are two versions of the Austin. You need to be within inches of the wheel to notice the difference. I assume the second/current version is a result of cost cutting.
My car originally came with 5G0601025BDFZZ, which are no longer available. They have been replaced by 5G0601025ASFZZ.

As seen in my photos, the spokes of the “BD” have grooves (you can’t feel them, the clear coat fills them in). The current version (“AS”), lacks the grooves, and the spokes have a smooth appearance. When I purchased a replacement wheel in 2016, the original version was NLA in the US.
Depending on the build date of your car, the part numbers might give you some clues. Regardless, you have a right what you actually paid for.
