I'm not sure what exactly you need to replace, but replace it. It's not safe. If I were you, I'd be wary of buying a car that saw enough trauma to the wheel bolts to actually break one.

i think he means the stud.....you can buy the stud for like 2 dollars, but its a bitch replacing it and installing it yourself, takes a long time

Aren't the studs welded on the back? If so, that would make it a pain in the *** to do at home, unless you have one killer garage.

If you are talking about the Lug studs, they are not welded in and you can put them in yourself. They are a "press fit" you can tap on the back or place it in the hub and take 2 of the wheel nuts that are opened end and run that all the way down the bolt and that way you can pull the stud into place then you can just turn the nut off.
Oh yea DON'T drive the car with that many broked bolts. Good luck.
