As someone who does my own basic maintenance on my car, this is why I triple check everything when putting wheels back on.

Consider that this was written by a journalist, who are often not that bright, what I suspect happened is aftermarket rims were fitted to the vehicle, and didn't fit.

Either way, it would have been the entire wheel most likely.
