Wheel Damaged during shipping. Repairable?
This wheel was packaged with all the lugs loose in the wheel bouncing around from Fl to CA. Is it repairable and if so, will it look the same as the other 3 wheels? The whole lip has hundreds of nicks and specs on it as well as some scratches.

No it was purchased from someone on my350z. This one wheel was brand new and its insured by UPS for about $450.

I have no idea if it is repairable or not, but whoever packaged it like that is a complete moron. Whether it was insured or not doesn't matter, it was not UPS's negligence, it was whoever packaged them up. If I were you, I would be talking to the person you got them from as they should be the one paying for a new wheel or to repair this one.

looks like a cheap 1 piece wheel, just buy a new one, refinishing would just be a waste of time IMO

Well then go and talk to UPS, they should know better. They should pay for a new one especially since you have insurance.

They are probably gonna give me $450. But I just dont know whether to repair the wheel and have some money left over or use all of it to get a new wheel. I dont want the wheel to not match.

I'd say ask the wheel repair shop what they can do with it. If they cant make it match buy a new wheel. Axis wheels are cheap to replace since they are 1pc cast or whatever
