Unless you did, , then I would take it to a regular tire shop and they can knock out your current bolts and replace them with new ones if that's the problem. If it's the lug nuts you're talking about, try NAPA or Autozone or online.

Have you taken the wheels off your Mercedes before? There's no lug nuts or studs. There are only bolts (also called lugs)... lug NUTS are different from lugs, studs are different from bolts. Your Maxima has studs and lug nuts.

He should find out why they are stripped before buying new ones and having the same problem. Generally running a tap through the hub helps clean up the threads to avoid stripping problems in the future.
