UPDATE: incorrect wheel mounting Hey all,
I just went down to have my wheels looked at, and as it turns out, one WAS mounted wrong. It was all sticking out and sort of like when you put the cap back on a peanut butter jar, but the thread doesnt get on right, and you end up with a closed lid, but at an angle. My wheel was EXACTLY the same way, as I had thought. One of the lugs had not been installed correctly apparently, and it caused the rest of them to move on the studs and let the wheel wobble just eenough to begin working its way OFF the mount. was VERY scary when I got it to the shop, but I am glad they got me hooked up and its all good now. 120mph+ once again baby!! no damage to the studs or anything, though I did get new lugs. thanks for your help all.
EDIT: the incorrectly mounted wheel was the one I thought it was. (PR) Can't go wrong with your insticts huh? I thought i would just leave it alone, and that I didnt know what I was talking about being that I JUST got new tires, and also sincee I am still essentially a newb. Thank goodness I went with my first inclination instead.
