Default lost a wheel while driving...

so i was driving today and one of my wheels fell off...i was pretty pissed, but figured i could fix it, but then i found out the lugs didnt come loose...it was that the threaded bolts (all six of them) broke off and sent my wheel across a field. So i just got my truck back home and up on blocks...but i was just wondering if anyone out there had a rotor that would fit a 01 dodge ram 1500 sport that they would be willing to sell for a reasonable price. I guess ill post pics of what happened later...it was pretty brutal

That sux. At least your ok. Any damage to your truck? I'm missing one of my bolts. I think I'll get ready to change them all. Good luck.

yea, i got it all fixed today. but yea, i think i did over tighten them. I checked the others...and everything else seemed to be fine, except one lug was completly off. But hopefully on monday ill be able to take it in and have the alignment done, cus i drove it today and it pulled a little to the right (not too shocking)
