That sucks. How tight were the lug nuts on in the first place? Could they have been way over tightend before they even touched the car? If so I wouldn't hate on the shop too much. I always use a torque wrench when intstalling my lug nut for this reason.
Is your Fuch messed up or just your lug nuts and studs? If they messed up my Fuchs I would be pissed. Good luck Rich Speedy

I remember America's Tire Company using 96 ftlb of torque for these lugs, which seemed high for these lightweight Al lugs but I am sure they did their research as they install tires on many 911 and 944s including race cars at their Torrance Ca location.

Use never-seez on the treads and the cone of the nut. You get accurate stud tension AND the nuts will come off as they are supposed to. 96 ftlb is correct.
