I agree. Normally when things go somewhat as expected it’s all good but frustration leads to mistakes. I’m guilty of that occasionally. I don’t like to but I’ll admit failure.
Ground the studs off this morning. Think I’ll reuse the hub by throwing a weld on the replacement studs to the hub. Wheel is toast. s*** happens gotta move on, it’s getting fixed.

That's a dilemma! Do you have a spare, if you don't here's your chance. Been thinking about the bevel lug nuts on the wheel, that's what keeps the lug bolt centered in the wheel. So what if you, after installing new lug bolts and wrapping them with tape, reinstall your wheel with the good lug bolts/nuts and fill the gaps on the bad ones with J B Weld? Had very good results with this on my 70 MPH bass boat on the scagg.

Ya I do have another complete set but I was going to run separate wet/dry tires on each set. Gotta find another rim at some point but for now f*** it I’ll run one red rim. I’m a hillbilly anyways lol.
I do believe in JB Weld myself. These holes are wallered out nearly the size of the nuts, all 4. Pretty bad, No way I’d try to repair and put back in service. Maybe low speed spare to get back to camp.
Could possibly make something like this work but not going to try.
