I would've been busting out laughing, even if it pissed the guy off. He's running big-ass showy wheels at an auto-x? Probably didn't torque the lugs properly - why else would ALL FOUR fail?

Almost certainly self-inflicted idiocy.

He took it to a tire shop or something and they put on the wrong lugnuts, not really his fault.

So he drove it from the tire shop to there before all four came off?

no, from what I hear that was the first time he had driven on those lugnuts at all. Probably because those wheels had a different seat type than his street wheels(if he even drives it on the street)
