Mounting Odd Sized Wheel

I bought what i thought would be 5 decent 18x7.5 +45 SSR GT1 wheels, I recieved 3 nice 18x7.5 +45 wheels, 1 heavily repaired (ugly) 18x7.5 +45 wheel, and one 18x8 +48 wheel. Would should I do? Put the 4 same sized wheels on my car and have one ugly wheel, or have 3 same sized wheels and one very similarly sized wheel? does the weird sizing of the one wheel through of the handling or will it be ok? I will be using 225/40/18 size tires on all 4 wheels

that is kind of a weird setup. i think i would sell the repaired one and the one wheel that's wider for a decent price. then go look for a wheel that's exactly the same ones that you have, but maybe slightly or carefully used for a good price.

i dont know how a slightly wider wheel would affect the whole performance of the car, but i would want them all to be uniform. also i wouldnt want a deformed and repaired rim either and i definitly wouldnt want to put it on if its ugly. plus the repaired one wouldnt even be at tip-top shape or have the proper strength as the other wheels would. who knows, you drive out and it'll probably get deformed again while cruising down a slightly bumpy road.
