They're for a car with 14mm lug bolts - not 12mm lug bolts.
Any chance someone makes a 14mm lug bolt with 12mm threads?
I contacted the guy I bought them from and he hasn't responded yet - so I may have the whole set with some really spendy and brand new Continental winter rubber for sale - cheap.

I just called Lakeshore.
The nice dude on the phone said that I should be just fine running these AMG monoblocks (replicas) with 12mm lug bolts. He said that most wheels these days are drilled out to 14mm and that since the wheels are hub centric I will be just fine.
Major relief. Now I need to take some measurements for new (shorter) lug bolts and I'll be all set. I didn't bother last night because I thought the wheels were a lost cause when I discovered they were 14mm instead of 12mm.
I'll keep this thread updated with my results.
