That is exactly right. ..well, except for that last part. That "period of time" is directly related (logarithmically) to the load. --it's not really time, but how many millions of cycles (rotations) can the aluminum take.
Notable: Not a bad failure mode. It's not like it shattered like some cast wheels do.
