Could you post pics of the rims? Are the bolts snapping above the threads line?

Rim bolts Snapped
Bucs23,

I don't have any pic with me since i'm working in India and my car at my hometown, Malaysia.

No, the bolt snapped at the middle of the thread. What's really making me because it's only happen on the same rear left wheel. Other wheel side are perfects.
