I just found that same company from a Samba thread.
I have been using long H&R lug bolts, but the larger wheels and tires are difficult to get centered an attached.
I took the van in for inspection and on the way home the fronts were out of round.
The shop guy just threw them on and didn't get them centered.
I figure the studs will make it a bit easier for all.

Thanks.

Sure. Best way to go for thicker alloy wheels rather than longer bolts, since then the same nuts work front and rear like on Syncro. 2 sizes avail of interest.
