1618 in 2007 had this issue; after one good hard match we had five of the six bolts sheared off in our re-skinned kit wheels. The time of repair meant we had to send a human player to our next match (we lost it).
However, one incident in seven seasons of this style of bolt pattern is pretty respectable in my opinion.
