The last two pics are of the back side of the rim... What else do you want to see?

im not sure if its as easy as normally replacing lug studs due to that oval-looking hole but if it is thens its very easy. you just hammer out the piece thats left, reach around ( ) and stick a new stud through the whole ( ) in front, put on the lug and tighten the poop out of it till the stud is alllll the way (ie the head of the stud is flush in the back).

i had similar drama constantly last year. i eventually found out that my rims needed hubcentric rings. after i added those, never had snapping lugs again.

Raw - It might be cheaper to just get a new hub/knuckle assembly from a junkyard. I paid $75 for one after an incident involving a curb and some black ice, ~2.5 yrs ago

Dude this happened on my tour 4 times. just go to the local auto parts store give them 10 bucks pick up 4 new studs and bingo your golden. the hardest part is getting the old studs out. there is a certian position your hub has to be in and they will come right out. Then just get the new ones in and put the wheel back on and let it suck it self back into place as you tighten it. that is what I did. no harm to wheels and it fixed the problem. Hell I even took it out and did J-Hooks the night I put the studs in.

Do you have any idea why it happened? I dont understand why I would need a new hub?

Anyway those oval looking holes are the back of my rim

I have been tightening them. But I doubt my skinny arse over tightened them that much! I'll be checking up on the hubcentric ring thing today.
