Nice! In that respect, the entire 370Z is a paint flaw in my opinion. Paint is too soft.

So, dealer indicated it is just a deep scratch and with these wheels a scratch could appear more aggressive than an actual cracked wheel on another car model. The jagged edges worry me so I may get a second opinion just to be on the safe side. Not completely convinced with their assessment being my car hasn't run into any road debris or other, but at least I have it in writing and a little more peace of mind for now.
