2005 RAM 2500 4X4. KMC XD ROCKSTAR RIMS (20*10"), 37*12.5*20 NITTO TERRA GRAPPLER TIRES. I'VE HAD THE XD RIMS FOR 2 1/2 YEARS, NO PROBLEMS, ALL HIWAY MILES, NO OFF-ROADING. SITTING IN DRIVEWAY FOR 3 DAYS, I NOTICED A FLAT TIRE, AFTER AIRING UP TO 50 PSI AS DESCRIBED ON DOOR JAM, I SPRAYED DOWN WITH SOAPY WATER LOOKING FOR LEAK, HUGE BUBBLE OCCURRED ON THE BASE OF THE RIM, CLEANED THE AREA AND FOUND A 3/4" CRACK LEAKING AIR. KMC WILL EVALUATE THE RIM FOR WARRANTY. I'VE SINCE READ MANY STORIES OF THE SAME WHEEL HAVING CRACKS.
