And that is the point I was trying to make re; lug centric vs hub centric.
Failure mode likely had nothing to do with the little countersink.
Draw your own conclusions...
If the relief wasn't there it would not have happened. Any time wheels with this relief are removed and are mistakenly over tightened this can occur. That is why I recommend checking them after they have been removed by a shop. And I would further recommend using a hand held torque wrench to tighten. This isn't the first time I have gotten a vehicle back from a shop for wheel related service to later find that the lugs were either to loose or way to tight.
How many times has anyone been on the side of the road with a flat only to find that the lugs are to tight to remove with your lug wrench? Or you have to have someone step on the end of the wrench to get them loose.
