Saab wheels are what is called hub-centric - which means that the determiner for the wheel to be centered on the axle center is by a machined fit of the wheel in the center of the hub. Many aftermarket wheels are made with a large centerbore and supplied with adapters to achieve the proper centerbore alignment. Sounds like you had one stay on the hub and then when you tried to fit wheel over it - no fit, conflict!
I don't know if the adapters are intended to be secured in the wheels or just loose fit. Unless the wheels are some odd ones, you should be able to get a replacement adapter. Check the other wheels and see if they are secured, or just a tight fit. Doesn't seem that the tire shop should be resposible for your 'work'.
