I call BS, because I've made the mistake of loose lug nuts on a car before.

If a wheel doesn't sit flush on the hub, there's a few things:
1) it'll sound more like a "thump thump" than just feeling wobbly and shaky. It would make a lot of noise, even at low speeds
2) this may have stretched out the wheel stud threads

If indeed they did make this mistake, you need to get it in writing so that in case the studs prematurely break, you have documentation.
