I live in Jersey and I used to have that same problem because I used to have the run flat tires.
What I think happens is that Run Flat tire are a harder tire and when you hit any type of bump on New Jersey roads the impact goes straight to the rims and it is not really absorb by the tire especially if you have 18in rims.
What I did was get is get rid of the run flat tire and went to regular tire and for the past 2 nd half years my rims have been safe.
I hope this advice is helpful to it did help my problem.
