    While it is hard to be certain from the photos, I’m damn sure that is a crack in the alloy, not just paint. And I’ve seen a crack or three in my day.

    Find someone that can check it with penetrant dye for you, as previouly mentioned on this thread, or buy the stuff to do it yourself. You’d need all three:

    Thanks for all the input guys. You all are amazing. So I have been busy at work and did not use the truck that much. When I got the chance yesterday, I decided to put soapy water on the crack and I noticed bubbles coming out. I know I said I was not losing air but I based that on the TPMS light which never lit up. So I went back to the dealer who installed my new tires and asked them to help me work on the warranty of the wheel (even if I did not purchase the wheel from them). Manufacturer honored their lifetime structural warranty (even if I was not the original owner). Installer did everything today and I just saved 280.00 (wheel + install). I was ready to buy the wheel when I saw the bubbles from the crack.

    Correct. I first brought it back to the installer (America's tire) to see if they would cover it since they did the install but they told me they were no wheel experts so they cant they me if it's just paint or structural. They just referred me to a wheel repair shop which I never got the chance. Then I called manufacturer and manufacturer told me to go to a different dealer which can verify if the crack is structural. That dealer told me it was just paint. They probably didn't want to do the hassle of warranty since I did not buy anything from them. America's tire where I brought the tire from did everything for me.
