80 bucks?! that's quite a bit less than others I've seen. Southern buggys is a little bit of a drive from here but I'm guessing they ship em as well? Whats the number for Southern buggy and I'll give him a call tomorrow so I can get these on! They don't have a website or online catalog do they? Thanks again

yeah I already had gotten their number from a buddy, I was just wandering if they had a website but I didn't see one. No big deal I'll give em a call tomorrow. Does anyone know if they take payment over phone & ship parts? For $80 I'm guessing that's without studs?

No studs. I just used big bolts with big lug nuts for the adapter to wheel. Then regular long vw lugs for adapter to hub/rotor.

went ahead and just ordered some from Drews...The way I figure they charge right at $30 extra for studs/lugs and it'd be that much or more from a local parts house.... Well anyways thanks for the help guys.
