Aero Thump: Help Please!

So I had Patrick Motors in Auburn, MA rotate my Aeros' tires yesterday. Everything was fine this morning. On my way home from work, I hear a thump from the front of the car that gets progressively faster as the wheels turn faster. I pull over to check for a flat- no flat. I then check that the wheels are on tight- they appear to be. I get out on the highway and the steering wheel is vibrating terribly. I pullover, get the lug wrench, and find I am able to turn two of the front left lug nuts another quarter turn. This seems to eliminate the thump, but the vibration is still there.
Would you agree this indicates they did not put the wheel on all the way (and it is still not on all the way) or could they have broken something else?
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Needless to say, the Service Manager will have a PO'd customer to deal with tomorrow morning. I'll let you know how they rectify things.
Thanks,
Brian
