What brand are they? I have Miro Wheels and had them on for 3 months before taking them off for winter. No cracks or issues...

How did you find out they were cracked? Did your TPMS go off? Do you recall hitting any potholes or anything?

my tire pressure warning came on so i checked the pressure and sure enough it was flat. one rim lets air our real fast and the other is just a slpw leak. ive hit potholes before, nothing tooo bad but wouldnt the front tires take the hit worse then the back? more weight = more force.

I would think so, + the front tires are not as wide so the force wouldn't be as spread out as with the rears. I would find out who makes those wheels and try a different manufacturer. Just make sure they are identical to the ones you have now.

I got my wheels here and they have a sale on 19" going on too...

Miros are rock solid, I've hit some potholes and my ///M6 reps had no issues. I don't know too much about MOVEN. Usually one piece wheels don't have any issues but 2 and 3 piece wheels can be prone to leaks sometimes.

you must drive like a maniac and not avoid potholes or something. i've used plenty of wheels so far ranging from 14's to even 20's in NYC and I only cracked on 17" rim before due to a pothole that i couldn't avoid. i actually have the 19" Miro m6 reps right now on my bimmer and have had no issues with them driving in NYC, NJ and PA

cracked two of my Miro's (19x9.5 et30) One wheel was cracked in 2 places and the other cracked in one place. I was running 265 tires and was lowered with more neg camber than spec. I got 2 et33s with 275 tires as replacements and am running about 1.4-1.7 neg camber now. Hopefully these hold up as I love my M6 reps but have to commute through bad roads and over the Tappan Zee Bridge every day.

the 275s fit? i think if i get more meat on the tire they will hold up. the front rims never crack, only the back

same here... both of my rears cracked and i only heard of the rears cracking.....

I have 275 Generals right now and they look better than the 265s imo. You get a little taller/wider tire so you get a little more rim protection. 265 Generals look a bit stretched on a 9.5 rim.
