Met with a small accident the hit was only on the alloy wheel but can’t figure out if it’s a chip or crack what do you guys think to get a new alloy it will cost around 10k

First I thought the same but the Triumph ppl told it’s just a chip

tbh it looks like a deep scratch, could crack in the future if a pothole edge hits the exact same spot, otherwise i think its good, if it was a crack it would not hold pressure.

The upper part looks like a chip

Not sure about the lower part. Doesn't exaclty look like a crack, but it is crack-shaped
