I have a set of Panasports in my attic that have cracked, been welded
and cracked again. The cracks are easy to see. I now use some wheels
that have a cross hatch design, made by Riken I think, that have held up
well under racing conditions.

No guesses from here.

I actually do not recall how they found them. I would guess that it was
visual though.
Either way, if you hit big potholes on the road or generally beat on
your
car, you should be checking the wheels for cracks. Oh - and if you have
stock TR6 rims you should also check for cracks (particularly around the
wheel attachment holes!).
