I recommend getting those wheels spun on a machine that does “road force balancing” as well as being NDI’d (non-destructive inspected, there are a few methods that can be used) for stress cracks. A “road force balance” will detect anomolies that regular spin balancing will not. An NDI can typically be radiographic or dye penetrant. I’ve never magnafluxed aluminum, it being nonferrous, so I don’t know if this is an option.

This sounds like a potential safety issue. I’d do it ASAP.
