I've heard of this happening but damn that must have hit hard. Are the lugnuts OE? Are they the type with the sleeve that goes inside of the rim or the accorn style?

Might have blown out your hub bearing...
Make sure your stud is pulled all the way and is seated correctly
And yes check your dust shield, it's your easiest fix first.

I remember driving around NYC and saying to myself, "I'm so glad our streets in LA aren't as bad as this." We complain about certain potholes but NYC has those crazy a** deep potholes that would kill a rim and they are all over the place. All we really deal with are strange road imperfections and large breaks in the pavement

The ones that were on were acorn style I replaced all four sides with oem studs n lugs...n yea I jus lowered it bout a week ago
N if I blew out a hub bearing wouldn't the wheel be loose or wobbly even with all lugs being tight to death lol

^ Yup. Drove around those Philly streets as well and you're right, there is always some construction going on. You all have those nasty potholes as well. Seems to be all over the northeast.

The streets here in az are almost perfect, there is the occasional black-hole that u could get stuck in, but iv been lucky enough to find all of them. Ha i couldnt imagine driving in NYC i cringe going over sewer drains
