Nice wheels. This is pretty common here, in Japan, Taiwan etc. Lots of aftermarket wheels are either cast or forged out of aluminum (filled) and then machined to the customer's PCD and hub size. From your pix it appears that did a pretty good job with them.
Like TRK mentioned, all you need is a lug bolt kits with the cone, not the ball. I (and TRK) could be wrong but I also think you simply need a kit like those:
In black of course. The lugs kit you previously got can be sold here easy I'm sure and you won't lose more than a few $ doing so.
I'd say just get on with it man, those are some sick looking wheels that you want to keep - I can hear your sport car screaming for them to be installed

Or if you like really fancy stuff I do lug bolts for a living loll (I wish)
Did those below out of Ti6Al4V (titanium) for the pcar guys here at the circuit (R14 ball is 7075 AL). If my memory is good I think I've machined 140 of these (7 kits) and they were sold out before lunch kicked in LOLLL was funny
I can do you a set of custom lugs if you are not in a rush. Cheap-cheap only $7,885

Yes that would work, but that's not the issue. Never did the site mention that I would not be able to use Porsche lug bolts. This should be upfront when purchasing wheels. As I noted, I've spent over $200 getting 5mm spacers and lug bolts from ECS Tuning. I want to use the ECS spacers, they are great quality.
After a long talk with Johnny Danger I believe these would be the lug bolts I would need for these wheels.

Yea tapered or cone, whatever you call those lug bolts there are pretty standard to most of the car wheels. No issues with using the same spacers or some of other manufacturers mate.
Websites, communication, huh! Some guy (middle-east based) put up a PayPal complaint on gtprojectors.com for failing to send him the complete headlight unit. He said "all I received was projectors, no new headlights in the box" I demand my money back (worst he refused to send back his projectors). ?!?!?. There is no where on your website that mention that you are not going to send me a new pair of headlights.
Thankfully PayPal recently ruled in my favor but none the less, carrying business online is really difficult enough. I'm sure your wheel supplier will amend their listing if you remind them too - just a misunderstanding. Nobody is perfect mate, be nice!

That's unreal. The guy must be an idiot or a thief. I don't see any way you can make that mistake from looking at the website.
