You're right about cracking. Good thing I have 5 and a steelie for backup.
However I have to drive hundreds of miles to find a rock that might break them.
It's sand and marsh and swamp here.

I went from stock steel to stock aluminum and my mileage went up 1 or 2. But that also included going from 215's to 275's, which helped my RPMs go down slightly.

Kinda narrowed it down to 3 brands. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mt...1639/overview/ Mickey Thompson
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/crr-3425812/overview/ Cragar
http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performan...ductId=1395303 And Jegs
Don't see too much of a difference other than price and .25" in backspacing, and the Mickey Thompsons include the center cap lol

I obviously didn't spend much time looking lol thanks. Only come in gloss though? I am really liking the Mickey Thompsons because they are matte
