I live in the Northeast ( USA). I have had three cracked rims in less than a year. is anyone experienced this. I am a very normal driver. never cracked a rim in my life.

I own a 2018 E43 AMG and I also had three cracked 20” front wheels damaged. The first wheel had a 1.5” transverse crack along the inner rim lip, the second wheel had a severe 6”-7” longitudinal crack along the inner lip which indicates that the rim almost failed catastrophically, while the third rim was bent but not cracked and unsafe to drive on. All in all, the car has ruined three wheels and four new tires in about 13,000 miles and one year. The vehicle is basically non-drivable due to this issue with the rims constantly cracking under typical driving conditions. Montman please feel free to contact me since we have the same issue @ [email protected]. You can also file a complaint about this with the NHTSA.GOV because this is a safety issue. The continual cracking of these 20” AMG wheels is not normal. It is a structural failure that should not be happening.

Mental. You don't expect this from genuine rims.

Almost seems like a way for Mercedes to make additional revenue without consideration how big a safety hazard this is. Please report your issues to NHTSA everyone, it's fairly easy and straightforward.
I had the exact same issue as OP here, less than 15k miles on a 2019 A220 and rims already cracked.
The fact that the tires and intact and wheels cracked just shows how poorly the rims are designed.

Yeah I'd be so disappointed.
