Don't look good mate, haven't seen this before, might be a good idea to take it to Triplex for inspection. Hope it's not terminal.......

Probably just casting marks that have picked up a bit of dirt. Definitely have it checked but no need to assume the worst.

maybe you hit something a bit to hard?

Yeah not gonna lie, looks like stress marks - watch out they may develop into cracks and then you may be questionning what happend to your rear wheel.

I'm thinking it ain't gonna last too much longer.
