The price you pay for cheap cars.

My theory is if you're not careful taking the wheel off the studs the wheel and stud will grind against each other and remove material (probably from the wheel) which will get caught in the threads if it isn't brushed away before the lugs go back on, it's probably the root of the threads getting wrecked.

I've had two strip, never snapped any. Went ahead and replaced them with those bigass ARP studs for the WRX in the hopes that I would never have to replace them again.
