Is this compressor wheel any good?

The fins look fine, but notice some scraping between the 1-5 oclock position of the compressor wheel......

It is more severe than the pic shows and is the worst around the 4-5 oclock position. Could scraping here cause a useless compressor wheel or damage/indicate damage to anything else?

I'd be more concerned that the compressor spun on the shaft as a result of contacting the center housing like that. If that happens, it can unevenly wear the small contact patch on the back of the wheel where it seats against the turbine shaft, causing the shaft to appear "bent" when the wheel is torqued, and the turbo will not build boost.
 
I wouldn't run that if it's a 16g like your mods list says you have, that's a low tolerance high rpm turbo not like a big shaft t4 or holset that don't spin as fast and have a beefier center cartridge, it will eat itself up fast.
