Call the company you bought them from and take it up with them.

That is quite sad. You pay a certain amount for rims and not properly packaged. You would expect that's their primary concern, to package them correctly.

is that clearcoated? if so, some meguiar's scratchX and a foam pad would polished it out some.

but it looks pretty deep so you may need to get that polished and re-clearcoated.
when shipping wheels one needs use mirror-sheets (thin foam sheets) to protect the finish.
