thanks guys. that's fast.. that's what I like about these forums.. it's not like calling in to these sellers to be put on hold for hours..

vraa

I hate being put on hold. I don't like dealing with companies that put me on hold either. That's why I build my own computers and tech support them as well :o

phattbam

yeah, sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do... thanks for the help guys. I'm gonna PM the owner for more info.. wish me luck

I was all set to pick up Ruffs for my E320. Had the card out, blah blah...and
then I saw pics of these on another board member's car and now waffling
back and forth. Ruffs for that sportier look, and these Angstroms for a more
dress look. argh.....Angstroms

phattbam

there's a cost difference between the two.. haha.. I just got a rough idea of it.. from www.supremepowerparts.com

so what is the ruff ballpark $$ you're finding? i havent called the place in
Florida yet.

Ruff for 19's staggered no tires is 1000 that's shipped with stud adapter and tuner locks.

angstroms 19 staggered custom fit ~ 2800-3000 depending on your custom center finishes

what is a stud adaptor ? are the Ruff rims made a little generic and little
spacers/adaptors needed to fit to a particular car? tried googling for a
picture but have not found one yet. are these desireable or no big thing?

phattbam

it is attached to the hub of the car. and have studs sticking out instead of holes for lug bolts.. So your wheels will fit onto the studs and will be retained by lug nuts instead.. When I called them they told me that they use this because the holes drilled are small and it's hard to fit a bolt in them..

raymond g-

ahh, spacers with studs sticking out of them. reverse of the stock MB which
is holes and we're using lug bolts 12x1.5" instead, right? {light bulb half lit}

phattbam

from their description, that's what it seems like.. to me I opted to stay away from it..

raymond g-

Hmm, I guess I'm back to the Angstrom rims. Will keep saving up for them.
Probably sell that gen3 night vision scope since it's just sitting around doing
nothing. Daddy's got ta have his rims! :-)

I found cheap Ruff wheels from here:

Any experience about this shop? The price for 18" silver set of wheels is only $511. Sounds too good to be true...

Im confused between the spacers and studs&lugnuts. When I got my rims, I converted my lugbolts to the studs&lugnuts. I didnt use any kind of spacer. The rim sits right on the hub. Are spacers and studs&lugnuts considered the same thing?
