I had very good luck and no issues with 99% of my FFR products, but I had a similar issue with one of my rear wheels.
When I originally received the wheels, this one had a funky spot on the inside that looked like it had been repaired (not badly, but enough to notice that it wasn't "right") and repainted. It was on the inside and didn't effect the look from the outside. The tire guy didn't catch it on my first set of tires, but when I had a new set installed (different shop) the guy showed me the wheel was out of round and it was dead-on with this funky spot. I have never hit anything with my wheels to damage them. I called FFR and argued with the guy, but he said I had the wheels too long and I probably damaged them. I can understand I had them too long, but the way the guy accused me of trying to cheat them, left a very bad taste in my mouth about the experience. He could have handled it better.

I say, don't mount the tires and definitely send it back for a replacement.
