I'm also wondering this. I've also had this happen. I was on I-70 and started noticing noise and vibration. When I finally get off and check it out, 3 lugs fall to the asphalt when I pop off the wheel cover. ONE lug was holding the entire wheel on, and it snapped off as soon as I jacked up the car and the weight was off it. Any definitive ideas? So far it sounds like instances of bad torquing, but in my instance it popped up out of nowhere, I'd had the wheels on there for a few months with no problems.
