The shop is going to cover all repairs since they feel they should have caught the mistake. However, Weld is going to be responsible for the wheel. I'm going to try and get Weld to cover my rental as well.
And yes, I'm VERY blessed that something worse didn't happen.

4WheelParts sent me the same style lug nuts (bottom ones on picture) when I purchased my Welds from them and I had the same problem where they were sitting on the wheel instead of going thru the hole of the wheel. Luckily I figured it out when I took the wheel off to adjust my DRs. There were a bunch of metal shavings coming down when I unscrewed the lugs and a stud even got loose. I started a thread about this problem and after a few feedbacks I bought new lugs that look more like the top ones in the picture. When you get the new lugs can you post some info/pictures of it? Mahalo!
