just got some info from the coach owner regarding the above wheel.
I asked what he thought caused the wheel to be torn from the axle/hub & studs.

I also was asking for confirmation that the wheel was steel (looked like it but wanted to be certain).

We think probably the wheel was over tightened sometime in its life causing it to start cracking between the lug holes. Continued use just aggravated the situation until it broke. And yes, it was a steel wheel.
