I was thinking about ordering aftermarket lugnuts (hopefully I can find ones that are stronger than the stock ones). But, out of curiousity, why do you think I need to replace all lugnuts?

well, i think your bolts were over-torqued... if those fell off from being overs tressed, why won't the rest?

Schweet deal. I'm sort of disappointed I won't get to see pics of your next course of action: Throwing the wheel through the front window of Discount Tire.

Wow, I'm late on this one, glad everything is turning out ok. I agree with express, replace all the lugs and I think it's reasonable that Discount Tire should cover that cost. If those were over tightened, I wonder how the other lugs will come out, hopefully ok vs having to use a screw extractor to get the broken piece out of the hub.
I don't know anything about those wheels, but if they're not hubcentric, get the correct hub rings. |

Hey Alfred, glad to hear that everything is working out and Discount Tire is taking care of you!
I agree with Express705 and Matt. Definitely replace all the lugs. Heck, Discount might actually replace them all for you anyway, just to make sure it doesn't happen to any other wheel. Since all the wheels were installed at the same time, and very likely torqued to the same tightness, there's a pretty high likelihood that many if not all of them are over-torqued.

As Matt said, stick to Murray or Discount. I'm a little upset with Schomp right now over some shinanigans they tried to pull on me this morning. Definitely not servicing with Schomp anymore after this latest bit (involving wheels and tires actually).

Schomp is cheaper than Murray. At least on a couple of things I've purchased. I will check all though |

anyway you can talk them into fronting the bill if you have someone you "trust" do the work? Tell them that they already put your life in danger once already.
