Gen 1 rear driver alloy damage?

Cleaning my car today and came across this marking on the rear driver side alloy.

If you run your finger over it, it feels like the alloy surface has split as there’s a clear “ripple” in the surface.

Anyone seen similar before and if so, any idea if it’s cosmetic or structural damage? I’m 99.9% sure I’ve not hit anything!!

Thanks.

Definitely a crack and looks surface rather than anything else.

I wondered if any owners had seen similar symptoms on their cars and what the fix was?

Thanks for the suggestion of thinking differently - bit of elbow grease and alloy cleaner and ta da..... mark gone.

Cheers to my friend across the pond!
