This is close to what I would do. You spent a lot of money for these wheels. You know the defect and what it's doing. I would sand/lightly file any raised areas and use a good epoxy to fill in any low spots and basically reconstruct the profile as you would want it to make it work. This will obviously void any warranty, so you're only other choice is to keep sending them back.
