Hey there. I'm in Canada at a Distribution center with 14 Doosan-Daewoo B18T-5 3000 lb counterbalanced lift trucks. Most trucks are showing small cracks at wheel -rim centers. The cracks are at each stud hole, going towards center.
I say there is defect in the metal, or rim hole clearance is too tight for wheel hub. 14 rims have cracks. Doosan says they were pressed improperly. But, when new rims arrived, 2 were TOO TIGHT to install. The center or the rims were smaller than the hub. Torquing the rims would certainly cause damage. Anyone out there ever see cracks like this? I have pics...thanks

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
