I'm going with the angry ex theory, Warlock!

 

Please be careful not to over-torque the lugs. I run ProComp Extreme Alloys and torque to 105 ft/lbs. Check after 40-50 miles and you should be all set. The only other thing that I can think of is that you have the wrong lugs. That shouldn't be happening if you are using the right ones and your torque is ok.

Good luck.

 

Hahahahah i wish it were that simple to point the finger at him and i could find him and secretly beat his ass.....however she is now afraid to ride in the jeep with me and says she definately wont go wheeling anymore so i kinda gotta win back the confidence!!!!

 

Re-torque is very important especially with Alloy rims.

I have wheels come off doing 75 MPH down the highway and see a tire go flying by my truck and sparks flying like crazy not a pleasant experience! This was due to the Tire shop OVER-Torquing the Wheels and the wheel studs snapped Scary Chit when a tire flys off!!!

 

are you sure that the lug nuts are not the same from the steelies and the alloy. i just put on a set of rubi take offs and used my steelie lug nuts.

 

Temperature swings, Cold at night ,Hot in the day could cause the alloy wheels to contract and expand.
But you shouldn't be having that trouble this time of year.
After you torque them in the day see if they are still tight at night. When it is cooler.
Keep the torq wrench with you and keep checking them till you feel more comfortable.

 

when did the two wheels come off? after sitting unattended overnight? thats just weird that the lugnuts came off without breaking a lug both times, that means ALL 5 have to loosen the same to all come off at same time so that one or two dont stay on and brake a lug

Good luck, maybe time for a surveillance camera

 

All Alloy wheels, no matter who makes em, have recommended lug nuts, for whatever style wheel

The steel wheel lugs will work, for a while, but should be changed as soon as possible

If there's doubt,. call your local dealer (wheel) and get the straight dope !!

Thanks again for the replies.....

TKROB ya man both tires fell off at different times however no lugs have broken and all 5 had to just back themselves off.....Its weird because in order for someone to have to jack with my wheels they would have to have the key for at least one of the lug nuts which has a locking key. Now granite that locking key is in my jeep and the doors are of 95% of the time i just think its wierd and now im afraid of my brakelines being cut or something else if someone is really trying to kill me!!!!

 

Locking keys tend to be a joke that keep honest people honest. They usually aren't that hard to remove, especially if you are using stock.
