Wow, that sucks. Did you ever figure out what caused them to back out of the hub?

Depends. Porsche OEM wheels use the floating collar design and is slightly more bowl shaped. Aftermarket wheels use the more conical shaped non-floating collar design. It is very important to note which type of lug bolt your wheels require.

Ah yes agree - my statement was only in reference to OEM wheels.
All bets are off with aftermarket.
