I really hope its a scratch. it jaggedness of it made me think of a crack. I'll see if I can polish it down a little more. What I took a picture of is all you can see. there is another one though very similar looking in the same location on another spoke.

If there is nothing on the opposite sideridge, then it's almost certainly a scratch. Those look line non-Chrommies right?

Make sure the tire has 40 psi and spray the "crack" with Windex or soapy water If it bubbles it's a crack, if not it's a scratch.

It that was a crack it would have hair on it :lol::lol::lol: sorry could resist. However, if it was cracked you would have a flat tire wouldn't you. I would take some 1500 or 2000 wet and dry sand paper and work that off then polish it. I personally think its just a deep scratch, good Luck.
