make sure you have extended oem lug bolts or H&R lug bolts. Here is what happened to me last week. Nearly lost the wheel. 3 snapped on one side and 1 snapped on the other. Common problem with chrome chinese aftermarket lug nuts.
Yup for sure...I got mine from Supreme Power and got the extended bolts as well. I also use anti-seize, torqued them and retorqued them after 100 miles. Hopefully, I will not have an issue.

Just to be clear. These were extended but you need to make sure they are high quality heat treated lug bolts. Not sure what Supreme Power sells. If they are, then you should be good. A good way to check is if they look chrome like these or more like a galvanized like the OEM.
Mine where extended bolts and they were black. Those in your picture look like they were hollow. I have sent Supreme Power and email to check on the bolts they sold me just to be safe. Sorry, this happened to you and thank you so much for letting me know.

No worries. Yep, just want you to be safe. I had a buddy lose a wheel from similar crap. My mechanic said he has seen a bunch of these issues and the only ones he would recommend are OEM and H&R's. Mine were not hollow.

It's generally *not* a good idea to use anti-seize on your bolts:
