David,
Yes I was originally pleased with Marsh, but now, I'm not so sure. Roger King puts his through a lot of work, and he hasn't had this issue. Our Structural Engineer here, looked at it for me, and said short of a metallurgical test, based on the appearance with a torsional failure and only 15 ft-lbs on a G-8, a bad batch of bolts. It's not a shear failure.
Guess if I do this again, I'll be looking for another wheel supplier? Although everyone will likely experience a bad sub-supplier , bolts are a known to have bad batch/lot issues, and good manufactures know this and make up for it, too bad Marsh isn't.
Would have preferred Combat Rims, but went down the 17" tire path.
Will
