Default Danger-weld Wheels Cracking

Has anyone ever experienced Weld Draglites cracking? I have a set of 15 x 5.5 Draglites XP's that are about 2 years old.

They are starting to crack in the same place that the other rim about 6 months ago completely failed. I'm trying to see if anyone has heard about these wheels having this kind of problem. I torque the wheels to 85 ft/lbs.

Thanks
Chris
