out of curiosity?   are you using the early  version of the riveted wheels or 
the late style?   early had very short raised reinforcement ribs between ther 
lug nut holes and the later had a longer reinforcement rib wich was to reduce 
the flexing and cracking found in the earlier style rim.  lester.....check your 
rims!

i have a 5" wide set of later riveted rims wich are now welded.  :)
