I was told the lug nut holes would crack from tightening.

...and when they finally did produce another aluminum wheel it was forged, rather than cast.

IIRC the Mirada wheel in 1981.

The original "recall wheels" really weren't at fault. The newness of this type of wheel was it's demise per say. The wheels needed to be re-torqued after initial use and most weren't so lugs would loosen and wheels would crack. Chrysler couldn't have all of this liability and it was probably cheaper and easier for the corporation to swap them out with steel wheels and get back to business. Here's a picture of a proper reproduction on my old R/T is 15x6 factory size and offset.
