Thanks!

Are you sure the wheels were seated properly when you torqued the bolts? This could give you a false sense they were properly torqued. Did you tighten the bolts in a criss-cross pattern when you put the wheel on? I learned that you should tighten in a criss-cross pattern and not in a circular pattern.
If you did both of these, not sure what else, unless the threads are possibly worn? Did you ever over-tighten the bolts?
