Usually caused by over torqueing the wheels. If the wheels keep gettign changed over and over and the wheel lugs are tightened by an air gun, sometimes the air guns are set at too much torque and it puts too much strain on the studs and before long either the wheel breaks or the lug and it's usually the lug. When you have wheels put on your car, ask the person doing it to hand tighten the lugs using a torque wrench. If you hear the air gun hammering on the lug nuts that is usually when the damage is occuring. It is possible you coudl have hit a large hole with the wheel and the lug took the shock and broke off, but overtightening lug nuts is a major cause of broekn lugs

What will cause no cylinder compression?

A cracked or broken piston will cause a loss of compression, as will cracked or broken rings. The failure of a head gasket will also cause a loss of compression, as will broken, cracked or badly worn valves or valve seats. A crack in the cylinder itself (either the sleeve or the engine block), or a crack in the head itself will cause a loss of compression. A problem with the plug threads or the threads in the head (for engines that have plugs) can cause loss of compression, and injectors (for engines that have them) can leak around the threads, either because the injector threads or the threads in the head have been damaged.
