it's a chip.
The axle has a center drill in the end for manufacturing purposes and in a machine shop, metal chips can end up anywhere.
one got wedged in the pilot of the center drill hole and remained throughout the rest of the assembly process.
Pluck it out and be on your way. Or not.

im so mad, finished dipping my wheels today and excited to put them on then **** happened. For some reason on one of the wheel dip came twisting off when tightening my lug nut. Try loosening but dip also starting twisting..... Ill need to redo it tomorrow. But my car looks alot meaner now with matte black wheels. Window tint willbe next.

is a big no-no.
The lug nuts will not stay tight without full metal to aluminum contact.
Try putting a nickel in the lug nut opening BEFORE spraying the rims.
Then remove it while the plasti-dip is still tacky/wet. You will be left
with clean lug nut tapers in the wheel, no plasti-dip tearing and the
lug nuts will stay tight...
I have a few wheel plasti-dip painting sessions under my belt...

That only applied to the 05/06 model years. 07+ Ford fixed the problem. For 05/06 you could use moleskin or use the updated part number for the window molding.
