“The bolts and studs have continually gone bad on my car. I've already had to replace all the bolts and almost 10 of the studs. The car has never been in a major accident nor had any damage to the wheels before. No one can figure out why this keeps happening, but I can't even change my tires without a bolt breaking. Very dangerous!”

Anyway I heard a thud in my from tire and it immediately stated to wobble before I could stop. I eventually stop and was surprise to see the rim split in the seam and the tire total. …”
