These wheels shouldn't break at all from normal driving or cornering, if they break under normal driving conditions, then their is a design defect. Nissan should do a recall on them.
I can understand a wheel breaking due to a pot hole, hitting a curb, or after an accident, but not from normal day to day driving conditions.
While these new lite weight design mags look great, you can really see how flimsy they are, compared to a solid slotted mag as used in the past.
Another area that probably causes a lot of stress on the wheel is the tiny side wall, of todays wheel designs. When you had higher side walls the tires probably obsorbed a lot of the stress.
