Default All 4 pistons are broke, Damm it

Pulled my pistons today to see waht they looked like, before I put my head back.be cause at first I htought it was a head gasket. and all 4 piston are broke. The rings them selfs look fine, but its the spot in between the rings that are cracked and broke off. they were supoose to be wesico pistons and rings, is there any way to tell if there the factory pistons or after market? sorry no pics, My camera is broke. any ideas why they broke like that?
