    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.

    We had a couple of wheel nut incidents, within a two weeks I nearly lost a wheel on the defender when 4 nuts came off on the Zu mag on the rear passenger wheel near the Mittagong weighbridge, I had a spare set of standard wheel nuts and one of the spares is a wolf so that got me out of trouble. 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.

    A little too snug in the case of a D2.
