The above replies are correct in that the cracking rims are a Nissan problem.
I have just had two replaced under warranty. No questions asked.
And the dealer knows that I have just returned from a trip that covered
the Painted Desert, Mereenie loop and
Oodnadatta track.
Unfortunately the tyre that exploded and wrecked another rim did not crack it as It may have been replaced too.
Go to Nissan and get them replaced if your rig is still under warranty. Otherwise the quoted Nissan price is $400 a rim
Have you had any other problems with your truck.
Regards
Gary

Truckster - No photos of the rim but definitely out of shape after it took about 400 metres to pull up the truck and camper trailer after BFG AT exploded. Tread came off sidewalls in one piece as if cut off. Tyre only had 4000kms on it. Dealer replaced it but manufacturer reckon they found a small hole which allowed the tyre to deflate and then overheat, causing it to explode.
Only problem I have ever had with BFG A/Ts
