I'll list the Enkei's on Craiglists or Ebay and I'll put that towards the new ones.
You have had your problems and I am glad you are about to solve them. Too bad someone fixed a tire and never bothered to re-balance it.

 I do not have too much faith in tire shops, some of the employees are not skilled and are at the bottom of the food chain and do not know or care too much.

Earlier this year one shop left one wheel loose out of four new tires and it made a noise after a day, the next stop at the shop for another set of tires two bolts were too tight and two too loose. This was after I pointed out the first error to the owner. The owner said it was probably rust or something that caused the loose wheel, I told him that an apology would have been better than excuses. I think I will not go back there again. How hard is it to say sorry?

You saw what happens when wheels are installed wrong, probably stripped threads from over tightening or negligence from not spotting a problem.
