Can anybody remember what the problem was? Was it that the wheel nuts weren't tightened properly or had the garage who fitted the alloys put the wrong size nuts on there??

This rx-7's wheels fall off. Apparently what happened was that someone sent him the wrong lug nuts with the wrong threading. They seemed tight until they fell off! Happened on june 10, 2007 dixie autocross

There's a moral to that story, put the nuts on with your fingers first and feel the thread. I would guess they were the wrong pitch and they've just been windy'd on.

F*cking amateur night there
To be honest I was waiting for it to burst into flames, but for some strange reason it just sat there, wheel-less and fire-less.
