I'm beginning to think it's a design/manufacturing issue with the rings. after the last time, I've been studying the issue and the broken bolts. It looks like the ring's surface where the bolt head attaches lets the tire side of the bolt's flange be the only clamping surface on the bolt. And no I'm not over torquing, and yes the fang is recessed, just not enough to provide a proper flat surface.
If you notice where the head shinny surface is (previous bolt picture), I'm betting the bolts are breaking from a bending fatigue.
