Not a Corvette.
How did they break?
From use. I had two track days last week. Car sat this whole week and I came out to swap wheels today and noticed the two missing studs.

I checked torque on them before the last session at the track so they probably flew off on the way home after cooling. Or at the track during the last session and I didn't notice.

titanium is stronger than steel per unit mass, but weaker per unit volume. for something like a lug bolt, you dont have much freedom to increase the diameter (unless you're willing to cut some new threads into the hub).

I'm hoping extracting them won't be a nightmare...
I recently removed studs off my buddy's supra, pretty labor intensive (he had red loctite) but shouldn't be a problem if you use the double nut method.

Tell me you didn't read without telling me you didn't read lol. I'm messing with ya in a joking way but look at the picture again and see if a double nut would work.

Got a buddy who had broken a few on his Lotus at a few events before. He says to center punch it and then use cobalt drill bits and then the best quality extractor bits you can get is well worth the money.
