    Did you get the right alloys? Is unusual that the bolts failed.

    did you also get new wheel nuts to go with the alloys? nuts to hold on the alloys have a different taper.
    if you didnt know this the guy that fitted the wheels should have. id talk to someone who knows what they're doing to see where to go from here.

    But did you get new nuts for the alloys?
    Or were the 13" alloys?

    And the old wheels where steel rims and not alloys?

    Could the nuts have been too short? Was it a reputable garage that fitted the wheels? Did the wheel come loose right away, or some time later?
    When you fit a wheel, supposed to check it again within 500 miles i believe.
