That would be my concern too, especially if the car was lowered, which from the pictures, it looks like it hasn't been.

Lowered cars alter the geometery of the ball joint, and it causes undue stress on the A-arms, causing them to crack. Add bigger, heavier wheels to the equation, and the problem is only compounded.
