Brand new member, shows up just to make this post, provides no detail about how this actually happened, provides a ludicrous price tag for repairs, etc.
It's beginning to smell a lot like troll...

Alright man, step back and start over from the beginning. No one can understand what is going on here. Your posts are vague and make no sense. Give us a full story with context so we can help.

How would you know, unless you torqued them yourself?
If the nuts are properly tightened and torqued they should never break like that unless they were defective. You could hit a curb at 80 and blow your tire and destroy the rim and the hub and those six lug nits would probably still be there.
Did you torque to 150 ft-lbs, with never-seize on the threads? Did you use a torque wrench for the final torque or just crank up the pressure on an air tool? Something's off with the story.

a few years back i changed the front ball joints in my old 2000 ford f-150, like always used my air wrench to tighten lug nuts. But this time i forgot to hand tighten with tire iron to make sure like i always do. 6 months later my son calls my on the highway 3 hours from home and says three of the lug nuts sheared off. lucky he was close to the cabin to limp it there and got it fixed the next day. Needles to say i didn't properly tighten the lug nuts and they gradually worked loose and sheered off. Funny he didn't notice anything until there where only two left.
