One of my wheels like this cracked last week. I just started the warranty process with Tredit. Hopefully the process will go smooth.

I just received the replacement wheel from Tredit last night. Only took them about a week to get this to me. I'll take it next week to get it mounted and balanced.
I have the Tredit rims rated at 110 psi, and Sailun tires rated at 110 psi. I inflate the tires to 110 psi cold. When I’m going down the road the tires can get up to 120 psi. Does mean I’m 10 psi over the rim rating?

Glad you got free replacement as you should. are they paying for mounting & balancing?
Did you file complaint with NHTSA?
They did not offer to pay but my tire guy didn't charge me anything to remount/balance.
I didn't file any complaint, what is the process?
I believe the rated inflation maximum on tires and rims includes the assumption that pressure will increase at you drive.
Go to NHSTA.gov and find the “report a problem” link.
I haven't read all the responses to this post, but when I saw that welding was used to seal the cracked rim I felt that I needed to respond by cautioning anyone on welding or having a aluminum rim welded to seal the crack. Welding and welding processes have been my field of endeavor for a period of 64 years for which I am certified in welding for all metals with nearly all processes. I am surprised that in this day and time that a welder would assume the liability of welding on a cast aluminum rim. I certainly would not.
Found out that Tredit will not warranty Broken/Cracked/Exploded rims unless you are the original owner of the trailer and have a receipt showing you bought the trailer new. So their Lifetime Warranty is not lifetime. Don't ask me how I know.
