Are the lugs still there? If so and the lugnuts came off, I would suspect that the lugnuts were not torqued properly. Also, if the lug bolts snapped, I would think the same.

I have no clue. Never had the wheel off. Bought it w/ 10.5 miles on it. Two next to each other and one across wheel. One other bolt had spun all but 1/4 turn off.

The dealer thought it must have been improper torquing from one of the girls on the line... Must have been overtime on a Saturday Could of really done some damage to me... DAMNIT. That wouldve been a great suit. Id of called Morris Bart or something. Hell he got other ppl 750K (my ***)

As you bought it with 10.5 on it, I would suspect that someone worked on it, tire rotation maybe, and did not retorque to spec.

P.S. Torque spec on these is 150ft lbs. And yes, one of the first things I did after taking delivery was retorque the lug nuts.

Actually no... It has never been touched. Guarantee you that. I had the oil changed by the dealer. I sat there chillin with the guy as he did it. 6K later is just odd....
