This autocross vid is old, old old: He was given 1/2 (.500") instead of 12mm (.472") lug-nuts when he bought the wheels - they torqued OK on install (just before his first run) but the threads pulled-through when loaded laterally

Samething could happen if you have wheel spacers on your car and not proper wheel bolts.
