    Besides that you might have to go with something along the lines of a panasport to get one that will fit anyway.

      I am not interested in aftermarket wheels. I hate to lose my stock wheels, and will seek a comparable replacement.

          They have already promised to make it right, whatever it takes. I think everything will be just fine. I will let yall know when it's all taken care of. Thanks for the info Ricky.

            OK the end of the story!

            I got all worked up about needing new wheels, while at the same time a bit ill over the idea of losing my "original" wheels. After a couple of good looks at my wheels, it is clear that while the rear driver's side stud holes did get a little chewed up, there is no issue with the wheels torquing down and staying that way. The shop offered to get me new rear wheels if I wanted, and I probably said before that they handled the whole thing right upon discovering this royal F*** up. But I decided to keep what I've got. So we just called it a really ridiculous Friday the 13th and that's that.

            With the wheels properly attached to the car, my new tires feel AWESOME. I can't wait to get them out and work them a bit!

              So what happened? Did they forget to torque down the wheels, or what?

                Yes, that is what happened.
