I see you have the 02 same as mine This is a pic of the rear wheel. Check it out. It is the same wheel. centerline. I got a lot of glad ragging, but no results. No problem with the front wheel as of yet but I always look. I didn't notice it untill I couldn't stop a slow air leak in the tire. It drove me nuts looking for the hole. It wasn't untill I submerged the entire wheel in water that I noticed it. That was the leak, bunches of them. Ever rivit that was cracked was leaking.

The material of the wheel is stamped T6 and that's pretty hard aluminum but the tensile strength (hardness)of the T6 could allow it to crack easier. I have to say that is really weird. I would contact Center Line and talk to their customer service since they actually manufactuered them.
Good thinking on finding the leak, and again thanks for the info and keep us informed if you get some help on the ovious flawed wheels.
