I have had a cracked wheel as well, and had it repaired (welded) for $75 and haven't had any problems since (although its only been a few months).
My theory is the runflat stiff sidewall protects the wheel from damage - I slammed into a huge pothole going 40mph+ so bad it tore the sidewall of one of my fronts, but no wheel damage. When I replaced them with soft hankook non runflats, I noticed 1) the ride is way softer (too soft) and 2) I cracked 1 rim in the 6 months since I have had them.
What happened to me is the edge of the rim was compressed in, taking it out of round and forming two small cracks on the edge of the rim where the section is bent in. So the guy trued the wheel and welded the cracks.
