Ever heard of a cracked rim?

I have a set of 18in. Brabus MonoV two-piece and I just noticed that the rear passenger wheel has a huge crack on one of the mesh spokes. Does anyone know of the safety concerns I should have, how it happened, and whether or not Brabus will warranty it even if I didn't buy directly from them? I don't recall hitting any huge potholes or anything and the wheel doesn't seem to be bent.

Hi David,
I can't speak about your perticular rims but when i cracked my rims I had them repaired. i was told that it really depends on where the crack is located and what direction it is running. One of my wheels couldn't be repaired due to the location of the crack. The others came back perfect. Check with a wheel repair place. Brabus will probably tell you to pound salt. Good luck.
