Agree with all above. Interesting failure mode; Usually rims fail by cracks at spoke hole. The cracks shown are in areas loaded in tension as the wheel rolls. The deep rim section makes it a lot stiffer in bending that way, and increases the tension loads on the inside diameter. (sometimes more flex actually reduces stress) So could be fatigue failure, or just pothole impact load, however given there are two cracks, I'm thinking fatigue. How many miles on the rim?
