minor wrinkle spot

I'm painting a wheel, and I have a small minor wrinkle spot, I can hardly see it but it's there. I prefer not sanding it if I don't have to, since it's barely noticeable, would it be ok to just shoot clear or it will cause issues down the road?
thanks
 
Let set overnight; it will get about 50% better as the solvents come out. Or put in the sun for two hours.
If minor, it will go away and then clear.
 
It did got better overnight, I will try leaving out in the sun also. Should I perhaps lightly sand the remaining imperfection and put another coat of base before clear ?

I usually wet sand those out and lightly paint it again with several coats giving plenty of dry time in between coats - something caused it to wrinkle - maybe breaking through a previous clear coat ? Take your time- light coats - plenty of dry time in between coats and it will be gone

If I chose not to wet sand some of the minor imperfections, since it's not noticeable at all unless you get really close. My concern would be If I just shoot clear on top will those small cracks make it's way up to my clear lol?
 
I agree with Dave 1500 wet until smooth and spot a few coats of base.
Sun first may help if you need to touch up.
 
I let the rim sit in the sun for a couple hours then I ended up sanding the wrinkles, then laid down really light coats with 30 mins wait between coats just to be on the safe side, I'm really happy with the end results. my mistake was definitely laying the base too thick and only waited 15 mins between coats, I felt like I wasted so much paint by laying the basecoat unnecessarily thick lol

appreciate all the help, thank you all
