Wheel scoring on the inside

Today while washing my car, (starting with the wheels) I noticed some odd scoring on the inside of the left front wheel. It reaches all the way around. It seems to be in line with the brake disc. It feels scored to the touch.
I only use car shampoo to wash the wheels, and none of the other wheels have this, so it couldn't be caused by anything corrosive that I use.
I don't know what to make of it. Anyone have any idea what could have caused it?

i have scoring on the inside of one of my wheels where presumably a rock was trapped between wheel and caliper. it created a thin shallow groove but nothing to the extent i see on your wheel

That "checkering" almost looks like the same design as the rotor cooling vents. When something gets caught in there, can you hear it?

I had similar issue but luckily I purchased the wheel insurance and they replaced the wheel. $3300 just for the wheel. Service did not recommend fixing as the wheel is very thin. Sharpie is another option.

Issue on cars with PCCBs. Little clearance between the caliper and wheel will allow rocks to get lodged between caliper and the wheel. Have marks on both of my fronts. I would doubt it would go deep enough to effect integrity.
