Pissed need some advice

I just received my wheels from UPS. As I am taking the wrapping off one of them falls straight on its face. It isn't all that bad but it is a little pitted with scratches. Does anyone know were I can go in Connecticut to get them fixed? On the other hand, anything on what I can do to fix it.

Thanks

If it makes you feel any better... something very similar happen to me.

I took it out of the packaging and stood it up in the driveway. I was so excited I didn't think about the very slight incline of the driveway... so it started to roll and then fell over and did one of those 'coins coming to rest'.... rrrr rrrr rrrr rrrr rrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Damn.

I took a dremmel and lightly buffed the small pits out. Can't tell hardly at all now.

if it's very small and not noticeable from a distance i wouldn't worry about it, they are just going to get wear and tear on the car anyways.

I first called the company and told them that and they said i need to talk to UPS and tell them it was damaged during shipping. It is a long dragged out process that takes forever. So i just deciede to bite it and put the rim on.
