Default Spare (damaged) rim 2011 what to do?
I replaced this rim on the passenger front side. What should I do with this? Is it worth repairing and selling or sell as-is?

From my 2011 LS460 AWD

It looks like only the coating is damaged. You can refinish it, it is good to go. You even can use it as is.

Definitely sell as is. If you have it refinished I doubt very much you will get your money back.

I would refinish it and keep it in case you have to replace another one...

Thanks folks, I think I'll try to sell it, but seems that the best idea is to fix it and save it in case I need it in the future.

One afternoon some sandpaper and paint and would never know it was ever scraped. This would be easiest fix on entire forum.

Dont you need a spare? All five of my rims are the same. If that was one of them I would paint it and use it as my spare.
