Cracked oem rims (with pics)
 
I've heard of people cracking a wheel before, but all 4 of mine were cracked, actually 13 cracks total between the set. Nothing CRAZY, but still kind of scary if ya think about it, maybe due to stress or just age, not sure... heres a few pics of SOME of the cracks on 3 of the wheels-

Wow! That's scary to think about. I think I'm going to go take a look at my wheels right now. How many miles do you have on those?

Yup have this on one of mine. Inside the tire, told it was dangerous to drive it like that so I mounted my new tire to a 12 valve wheel. I'll get a pic tonight. Wheel has over 589,xxx miles, so it's understandable.

Mine only have 217k on em, but the truck was used hard in it's previous life as a real truck. Oh well the old rims will make good scrap weight :D

Hold on to the center caps! Those are surprisingly tough to find from what ive seen

Hey man, I need one, if you can bring yourself to part with it.

I've had 2 of them crack like that and one that got hairline cracks we couldn't find without soapy water . I'm sure it has nothing to do with the 1000 pound snowplow out front and 2700 pounds of icemelt and snowblower in the bed all winter. :humm:
