ohh i still have that problem but it wasnt my fault it was the people the rotated & balanced my rims. Whenever i was switching my rims to my stock rims sum were hard to take off, so i was like wtf why in the hell is it hard to come off, well after a few turn the stud broke off with the nut. I have 4 studs on both of the front disc and yet i still havent replaced them, lol but i dont need to do that asap

Uhh, not safe. I see guys break studs and cross thread wheel nuts all the time at the track and autoX events. How hard is it to take off and put on a wheel. It'll probably happen to me next week.
