20" Carbon wheels - looks like the clear coat is flaking off...
Anyone else experienced this? Seems to be on just one spoke, rest of the wheel (and the others) are fine...

Are you sure that's not an indication of an internal fracture? I's send a photo of it to the wheel manufacturer ASAP and ask that. IF it indicates a fracture, you do not want to be driving on that wheel.

There's no indication of a fracture or any sort of marring/damage that I can see, I've seen it on other painted wheels just wasn't sure if anyone had experienced it. It's the factory 20" Camaro wheel, I might run it by my local Chevy dealer and see what options I may have... also, the different color in the corner is just a reflection of my knee - it's not damage/discoloration of the wheel

You can likely repair that with a little sanding (1000 grit) and some clear coat, Dealer might refer you to a wheel repair specialist they use for their used fleet. Or just pick up a new or nice used wheel. Is it a 8.5 or 9.5?

Jim G makes a very good point there; if you swing in and are able to pose the question in that fashion, you may end up with a brand-new wheel. Worst case, you come away empty-handed, having spent ~10 minutes of your time, and *then* proceed onto whatever was to be the next step anyway...
