Were the wheels spray painted or powder coated? If they were powder coated then the heat treatment could have weakened them

Maybe it was the wheel trying to break away from the stock red painted caliper?

I don't understand how this could've happened. This isn't a replica wheel. We all know only replica wheels break. My mind is blown right now.

It's a cheap cast wheel. OEM cast are not top of the line wheels.

There's a lot of sideways flex on the wheels, do that enough times and the metal fractures.
