I have never bought a set of BBS, HRE, or AMG thar didn't come with lugs.
(Yes, we know, your wheels are better than that.) As a lawyer, I understand their liability concerns. But do they really think that they would be able to avoid a claim on a failure, once the discovery shows that all the proper items were not included with the wheels? On cars that can go 200 MPH? The logic escapes me. If their margins are so razor thin that $100 worth of lugs isn't do-able, then raise the price by $40 a wheel. On a $10000 set of wheels, $100 is 1% (at retail).
Sorry, out of it now. Good luck.
