Bingo, happened to me too, only 4 of the 5 studs sheered completely off, they were extended studs in the front. I know for a fact that no one messed with them.

From your profile it says you have an 05 MR, but you stated you have Evo 8 Enkeis .

Are you running the Enkei's over the BBS?

Similar story happened to me when I drove my eclipse gsx to the McCormick Place Hot Import Nights in Chicago a few years ago. We had a reservation at the hotel connected to the convention center, so we parked outside along the street right outside the hotel. There were obviously some modded cars parked too who were either at the show or in it. Next morning after checkout, I walk down the side of the road and see some cars got busted into. One after another down the line and then I came to my car to find out that my car window was busted and my stuff jacked. They were cars parked on both lanes of the road, but I guess I parked on the wrong side because all the cars on the other side were not broken into. All of this occured rigth outside the hotel and nobody reported a thing. Needless to say, I was upset, so I know how you feel.

I have read and heard of a lot of people's cars getting vandalized, broken into and even stolen at car shows.
