I emailed the new parts lady and gave her all the dimensions and pictures and asked how many do they have in stock and how much. Yes my fear is that someone with a 1" air driver has over torqued the studs and I will replace all of them on this wheel just to be safe, my fear is these things popping off at 65 mph or in a turn. When I see things like this I start evaluating what happened, just so happened the three studs are in the pattern of a triangle not next to each other this would leave me to believe the air driver and pressure system was max value when they tighten the first 3 studs and more than likely damaged them but I don't trust the others. I will also check the other side.
I got your drift Simon about the threads being worn and yes checking them that way would be correct but my problem is not the threads all the lug nuts go on very easy its them pulling apart at the flange. Look at that last picture. Scary!
