Default Please help! Lugs and Hubcentric rings for Oettinger RZ! (LONG!)

I recently purchased a set of Oettinger RZ wheels from a local vendor and they did not come with the correct lugs, and were missing two of the hubcentric rings.

The shop I purchased from initally gave me the wrong lugs (cone seat), and when I told them I wanted ball seat, they gave me these lugs with really short heads (about 1/2"). The heads sink way into the rim.... besides looking terrible, it's difficult to get the socket that far in.

I tried calling both DAZZ and CEC, and had no luck! CEC says I didn't buy the wheels directly through them, so I need to go through thier distributor. Dazz says the same thing. Both of them wanted me to go back to thier exclusive authorized distributor, but that's where I purchased my rims from. I don't want to deal with them! I even offered to pay for all the parts, but Dazz and CEC said no.

Think of my experience with them by this time - Wrong lugs, no hubcentric rings, they insisted that 235/40R18 wouldn't rub but IT DOES, both on the shock and on the fender. After fighting with them about having to pay to get the tires changed to 225/40R18, they agreed to do it for free, but scratched a rim.

If someone could help me get a set of lugs and hubcentric rings, I would be VERY greatful!

At the least, if there are any others with a set of Oettinger wheels, could you measure your lugs for me? I think I need 14mm X 1.5", with a 17mm Head. I need to know how deep the head of the lug is. If I could get this, I could order a set of lugs from somewhere else.

Thanks,
Gary
