Well I took my JK in today for a slow leaking tire and came to find out I have a hairline crack in my Pintler as well ... By the 2nd or 3rd day after airing up this little crack was letting enough air out to get down to about 10PSI ... Calling AEV tomorrow to see if they'll warranty it. they've been on the JK for 2 years but their site says these Pintlers come with a "Lifetime Structural Warranty"

I'm also concerned about how the remaining 4 wheels will hold up over time

AEV shipped me a brand new replacement for this cracked wheel.
It's nice to know the company stands by their products. I'm an AEV fan.

Here we go again ... 
I had one crack last fall that was warrantied by AEV and now I noticed low tire pressure in one of my tires and came to find this on another wheel ... Looks like I'll be on the phone with AEV first thing Monday morning !!!

It's awful that you guys experienced issues... but it sounds like AEV is awesome when it comes to taking care of their customers...
I like the argents with bead locks, but I am not sure they are worth the maintenance... I am mostly on the street but really like the looks.
Anybody have any thoughts on whether their worth having on a daily driver?
