Unless you did something odd to break them, I would NOT recommend reinstalling new 1/2" studs. I would make the switch to 5/8" for the extra strength. Over the years I have personally watched two cars break wheel studs on the launch and drive left into the guard rail. Both had 1/2 studs.
Also if two broke while racing, it could have overstressed the other three, making them weaker. If I had to use 1/2" studs, I would replace all five.
I have access to a Moser dealer to get studs if you need them.

i broke a couple years ago and watched wheels come off a car on the starting line at norwalk once. i made the switch to the 5/8 its cheap compared to the damage that could be caused by the 1/2 breaking
