In my case it might have been a combination of Spearfish's point 2 and Chris' point. After installing the spacers I have taken of my wheels a couple times for swaybar install and break pad swap.

I doubt uneven tightening of the lug nuts was a problem in my case as I always take extreme care of properly tightening the lug nuts. But taking the wheels of or putting them back on could have been part of the problem, I might have bumped the center ring, the wheels are big and heavy and therefore rather hard to handle. Ad to that the cornering and braking load of the 2 autox events and a track day and you have the perfect recipe for a pair of broken hubcentric spacer rings.

I'm done with spacers for now. To bad, as I think our cars (on stock wheels) do need
Spacers to complete the look...
