Just noticed the other day, one of the spokes where it meets the rims towards the tire is starting to crack, a hairline. I had one back in 2005 do the same thing on the pass side, and that time it did it slowly until all spokes were cracked. I actually thought it was just the clearcoat until I saw it on all spokes, and then decided I shouldnt be driving it until I replace it.

Bad Alignment? Lug nuts too long? Doesnt seem like a common problem.
 
I had the exact same problem several years back with both the front (7") and rear (10") Pro Stars. I bought replacements and it hasn't come back. The originals were Crager before they sold to Weld.
 
I am right here :p I had new ones crack .. fronts .. 15x5s from what I remember.. spokes on the back broke on one. the other on the front where the spokes meet the rim . Weld did not want anything to do with it. WHY ??? because Buicks came with 15X7s .. so I asked them what GM car came with 5" rims. They didn't know of any . :rolleyes:
 
I figured it had to have happended before. No reason though?

It was a 15x6, but about a year ago I sold my extra 15x7s, I could use them now.
 
Common failure... in both the Cragar made "Bob-glidden signature series Drag-Stars" and the subsequent Pro-Star made by Weld.
