I've seen them on a few cars, but I haven't been able to find one of their vendors.

I'm also curious about them!

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

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

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?

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:
http://www.lowprofileonline.com/ruffracing.html

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?
