I have seen cars exiting the shut down area at speeds that scare me.

Side loading causes the wheel to flex and flex causes work hardening which leads to cracks..

I know how heavy my car is and I baby it around corners..

Just sayin'

I take it easy, always have. These Challengers are nose heavy.

This problem has been discussed before several times. Holeshot Wheels make a wide variety of one piece and 3 piece wheels. Good balance of weight & strength. My car is 3,560+.

One piece selection: https://holeshotwheels.com/collections/1-pc-wheels

I've run Holeshots for many years without such issues, but everything should be checked/replaced periodically. Just recently I've had my second OEM 2007 Pace Trailer aluminum wheel develop a leak through the aluminum. Nothing was visible, but apparently the porous aluminum developed a crack after years of use. The trailer has stayed below it's 12,000 lb rating at around 10,500.

FWIW
How the car is tied down in the trailer may be the problem or part of it.
If tie downs are parallel the car will not move forward or back but will rock side to side while on the road.
Cross or X tie downs front & rear side loading is greatly reduced.
Also tie down the car so it will not move up & down this will wear out your shocks in a few trips. May require adding more tie downs.

Bogart makes a back plate version for the spoke wheels.
It comes black and might do the trick.
