I'm not a fan of hubs and brake drums being cast as one since overstressing one portion can lead to catastrophic failure, which look like what happened here. Separate forged hubs are much better and they can be easier to (more accurately) machined and are much stronger. Its the hubs that take bending forces in the turns and the fulcrum that a wide 5 pattern makes does not help.
