Wheel Bolts problem #1

Rear wheel studs. One of my rear wheel lug bolts is cracked up in the lug nut and another one broke off and is missing. This was an accident waiting to happen. I can't even get my car inspected because our local auto parts store does not carry this item.

Wheel Rim problem #2

Heard rubbing noise from the rear end while driving. This was caused by 18" inch rims rubbing on the wheels. This could cause the tires to wear out or blow out, per the dealership. These were after market rims but were on the vehicle at time of purchase. The rims model name was le collection lm.
