cracked wheels

both my front iroc wheels have hairline cracks in them. one crack per wheel. goes all the way across and through only one spoke near the center of the wheel. there's no material missing and there's no gap where the crack is but it's there. i've been driving on these since i got them with the car about 5000 miles ago and so far no problems, should i start looking for new wheels?

Thats probably from using an impact wrench when installing the wheels.
