That's definitely not normal behavior for the Miro wheels. I've sold plenty and not a single one has had issues. It might've just been that 1 time a rock shot off a truck or something. 
Sucks to hear but I'd suggest posting the zip codes in the forum asking for rim repair shops.

Michael,
Thank you, at least you tried. I haven't started searching for a shop yet, I don't know any in my area. Any recommendations? Zip codes 07040 or 07052.
If not, touch-up paint and that's that.
My real concern is that I've only driven on these wheels for 500 or 600 miles and I already have damage. Now, it may be just my luck and maybe I won't ever have any other problems with them. OTOH, it maybe that are more susceptible to such damage and the ownership experience is gonna suck.
Meh, whatever. Thank you again and thanks to everybody who offered valuable opinions.

There's a shop I used to take wheels that were damaged/bent by my old customers in Elizabeth. I think the name of the shop is Wheel collision or auto wheel collision, I know where it is but I just forgot the name.

A little positive spin... at least the rock hit your wheel and not the side of your car.
