The thing is that I can't remember hitting anything hard. Weird because I'm also pretty good about checking my tires pressures so I don't think that was a contributing factor either. Im really beginning to think there's something defective in the manufacturing of these.

The rims can be fixed. But I don't know if it would be worth it. You would have to remove the finish. Dye check the whole rim for cracks. Weld prep the cracks, and deflects. Weld, then grind smooth. Redye check the repairs. Then refinish the rim. Depending on the type of aluminium. It still may crack later on.
