Default What happens when whell nuts aren't tight?

For that answer have a look at the attached photos (phone camera, crap quality) The photos below were not long after all 5 wheel nuts were sheered of at approximately 80Kmh. Thankfully the bottom of the shock sat straight down on the inside of the rim and kept it sort of in place. Even when getting pulled onto the tow truck and off again the wheel did not come away from the body. A BIG thanks goes out to JC for helping replace the wheel studs today.
