thanks for the update I guess these should be used only on lighter combos

How fast do you drive around corners??

I have seen cars exiting the shut down area at speeds that scare me.

Side loading causes the wheel to flex and flex causes work hardening which leads to cracks..

I know how heavy my car is and I baby it around corners..

Just sayin'

I take it easy, always have. These Challengers are nose heavy.

This problem has been discussed before several times. Holeshot Wheels make a wide variety of one piece and 3 piece wheels. Good balance of weight & strength. My car is 3,560+.

One piece selection: https://holeshotwheels.com/collections/1-pc-wheels

I've run Holeshots for many years without such issues, but everything should be checked/replaced periodically. Just recently I've had my second OEM 2007 Pace Trailer aluminum wheel develop a leak through the aluminum. Nothing was visible, but apparently the porous aluminum developed a crack after years of use. The trailer has stayed below it's 12,000 lb rating at around 10,500.

Bogart makes a back plate version for the spoke wheels.
It comes black and might do the trick.
