Haven't broken any, but I did cross-thread one last summer with the cheap
chrome lug nuts provided by ARE with their rims. Replacement was easy, went
to NAPA and got a new one for a coupla bucks, pounded the old one out with a
ballpeen hammer, pounded the new one in (used a block of wood on the stud
when pounding so that nothing got damaged). Tightened up a lug nut on the
stud to seat it into the hub, took the nut back off and it's ready to go!
