Glad you found the cracks. Of those miles the CCWs have seen, how many track days does that represent? Are you on the track curbs fairly often? (I certainly am, but just wondering if you use them as well.) It's my understanding that race teams have to repair or replace wheels fairly often, even high-quality ones. Based on reading your posts for the last couple of years, I get the sense that you track fairly often. Could this just be the eventual endpoint for all wheels in the track setting, some failing sooner than others?

I check my tires for wear before and after track sessions, but not my wheels. That probably needs to change now. Thanks for the heads-up.
