Stress Crack in the Paint on the Wheel?
I have a stress crack in the paint/clearcoat that radiates outward from the lugnut on one of my wheels. This has happened to only one of my wheels. Is this normal?
I don't have any physical damage other than this crack in the finish (paint and clearcoat). I'm afraid that the clear coat will start to lift and peel away over time. I have never curbed my wheel or run over any objects.
Any advice?

Thanks. My car is at the dealer right now for another problem. I'm having the dealer look into this and determine whether this is a safety issue or purely cosmetic.

Doesn't matter. The wheel needs to be replaced either way.
