I checked the torque on the other three wheels, and found that they were all at or above 15 ft-lbs (180 in-lbs) except one bolt on the right front wheel the snapped right off. After further an-alysis (this sites lameness checker don't like those first four letters together even in they are with other letters), I'm thinking the Bead Lock Ring design may be the issue. It looks like the outer surface of the ring (the recessed part) may not be recessed enough and putting a side load on the bolts. you can see this in the bolt head in this photo, and in the ring paint wear pattern in the previous photo. I'm calling Marsh back tomorrow as their poor answer today of it just being fatigue is a lame lazy excuse to me.
