Right front wheel rim cracked for no apparent reason.
Issue was discovered due to a very small leak which only became apparent as the tyre lost pressure over days, regardless of the pressure it was filled to. Took it to the local tire show assuming it's a tire issue, turned out to be a crack in the rim.
I did not go over any significant bumps or potholes, issue just randomly popped up.
If you have a similar issue, please report the NHTSA so they take a look at it, as cracked rims is a major safety concern.
