Default chrome rim is bubbling??

I just got a set of brand new spanking Chrome FR500 rims less than a week ago from Mustangtuning.com. There is like a water bubble spot on one of the 17x9 rims up front. It's very small but noticeable. If I run my finger over it, there's a tiny bump. So I'm thinking some air bubble underneath the chrome? I live in Florida, so the weather's either raining heavy or the sun is scorching with humid air. I'm deeply saddened by this little spot. It's like a dent to my heart [&:] Could this be a defect? I'll take some pics tomorrow but I don't know how it will show up in the digital cam. Oh well, it's worth a try.

You should call them and see if they will replace it. Since you've only had them a week they should replace it.

Like if you push on the "bubble" -- is it solid or does it have resilience? Is it like a rock or a balloon?
