    cracked basket weave

    so I am not good with pictures
    that said
    has anyone else experienced this,
    the other day I was washing my car, adn working on a front basket weave I found one of the "veins" had a crack in it.
    the wheel has zero bends, none , nada, not even road rash
    yet near the center cap, just where the individual "spokes" join the web I found a crack in one "spoke"
    so then I looked at all my wheels a bit harder, nope no issues.

    is this old age fatigue, has anyone else run into this
    first I have ever seen or heard about this
    if it is a uncommon issue, then I bet it was a casting flaw or fatigue that is just now showing up
    strange
    makes me want to pull all my wheels and check inside adn outside
    then again, not today, maybe another day
Working...
