Yes it can and has happened to factory wheels . Here is a picture of my rear inner dually wheel that was never over loaded. The only reason it didn't fall off is the outer wheel held it in place . The only sign that something was wrong was a slight clicking when decelerating , no vibration or wobble . I thought it was the brakes , but this s what I found .
Bob...are these steel or alminum? The inner flange (minor id) looks thick like cast alum.
I have never seen steelies that thick...but I have never owned a dually!

Yes they are original GM steel dual wheels . The thickness is an optical illusion . The white ring you are seeing is the flat portion that mates to the hub . The center of the rim broke completely around the hub but about a 1/2" away from the bend , that is the white in the picture , compare the two wheels .
