Aftermarket wheels can also cause issues,wrong wheel nuts used,and not torqued properly.
The other issue is often the OEM wheel is a snug fit over the hub,the aftermarket wheel is not.

A week later eldest daughter lost a rear passenger wheel on her Wrangler near Canberra. Both incidents occurred with no recent removal of the offending wheels. Interestingly NRMA came out at stupid o'clock in the morning and wouldn't jack up the daughters car and put the spare on as they declared it a an accident and told her to claim on her insurance. We fixed it the following morning with a jack and the spare wheel.
