Default HD Profile Laced Wheel

I have a '04 Road King Classic that I had HD's profile laced wheels installed on when it was new. 11,000 + miles later (when getting the bike out of storage) I discovered that the rear wheel has split open about 8" long and at it's widest, about 1/2".

Had it towed to the local dealer, who contacted HD and they covered the wheel and a new tire, which was cool. I was told that I'm the only one to have this problem, however HD's new part is a stronger wheel, which HD had made because they foresaw a problem.

Anyone else have any issues with these wheels?

I've seen people posting pitcures of chrome laced wheels splitting. Can't remember if anyone said the were the HD Profile ones specifically.
