lug-centric wheels are different by design.

the issue is the wheel shifts out of place when there is no lip to rest the weight of hub-centric wheels. that movement can cause the stud to snap.

lug-centric wheels do not rely on the centering ring lip for stability. there is no shifting. unless the lugs were over torqued significantly, the lugs do not break.
