More likely nasty "lightweight" alloy wheel nuts (ebay specials - and not always cheap either)
Threads strip when put under stress, so off come the wheels...
Thats the problem with a alot of aftermarket "modified" or "uprated" parts. They cost, but the quality isn't always there when compared to OE.
Seen the same happen with braided barke hoses - they work fine until some time later during an emergency stop, and they either split or blow off at the fitting, resulting in the brake pedal going to the floor and no brakes.

I very much doubt that all wheels would drops off a the same time, no matter how cheap the nuts are. Drifting or not. Maybe it would happen to one wheel, but no way all four.
Its a prank.
