Hmm.. Interesting..Did you recall jumping off ramps or anything of that nature?

Maybe they were just very old and cheap, and just gave out.

LAWL, my old wheels cracked. It was a small hairline crack, enough not be able

to hold air and be totally annoying. Needless to say they were crappy wheels.

some wheels are designed to crack easily to take the impact of an accident rather than effing up you subframe and all your suspension arms.

If its a cheap cast wheel a pot hole could easily crack one.

cheap or not, they should not have cracked in that location--period. Take them back to the vendor. A broken rim is one thing, a broken spoke is another.

You should use some of these: . , ; : ! ? () and maybe even capital letters.

I cracked the cheap ebay wheels that are on my car (I don't accept the blame, they were on it when I got it). Don't know how it happened. I came outside and the tire was flat.

I had it welded and have driven on it for a year since with no problems.
