No way the spacers broke. More than likely a wheel weight. It's happens

Then what's the question? He admitted you might have lost a wheel weight. Go get the wheel re-balanced. I wouldn't spend a second worrying about any other possible reason until you've done that.

idk chuck im sorry man i get paranoid! damnit

Just relax. Go check the torque on the lugs. If that's fine, take the wheel to be re-balanced. There's about a 99% chance of that being the cause of the problem, especially since the mechanic flat out said he could have knocked off a wheel weight. There's no sense in getting worked up about what else it could be until you've eliminated the most likely possibility.

If you're really concerned about the outside chance the hub ring broke off, go take off the wheel and look. Nothing's stopping you from going out and eliminating that possibility yourself.
