But in the end they replaced the wheel on GM's bill. Mine looked just like what you are describing and it is a crack in the wheel itself, get this fixed ASAP.

There are others who have had this problem also, see if you can search for the topic.
I had the exact same problem, left rear wheel. Dealer told me to pound sand even though I was still in warranty at the time.

I've never had a factory wheel crack in my life. Must be something wrong with these wheels.
