    no way in hell you get 30lbs of torque on a too large lug nut, not to mention 70-80 so I'm going to call BS on that one.


    and now that I watched the video I know for damn sure it wasnt just a too large lug nut. They didnt let loose on the launch or the first couple of turns. They were ptobably hand tight and just spun off. Even thats pretty unlikely though considering 3 came off at the same time.

    +++ for you!

    ...but all 4 came off didn't they? I seriously doubt they could be torqued to spec and even then how on earth could all 5 on each wheel come off...20 lug nuts!!! There is no way.
