Couple things......
The wheel spacers you're looking at are neither hub or wheel centric. so there's about a 99% chance its going to vibrate and/or stress your studs and potentially break your studs. When you buy a thin adapter, your factory wheel studs are going to stick out past the adapter plate. So you're going to need to purchase shorter wheel studs and repress them. This task is a pain in the ass on most cars. You can cut them.... but having done this, i would advise against it.
Even the medium grade spacers youre looking at are $140+SH, plus the cost of new studs. The actual spacers you need to be safe and not have vibration are going to cost you around $350+SH+ the cost of new studs.
By the time you spend this amount of money to buy adapters, you would be much better off to just cut your losses, sell the wheels you have and purchase a new set of wheels. Wheels are not expensive. Here's an ebay link ( http://myworld.ebay.com/wheels*n*sto...84.m1497.l2754 ) to a discount wheel store that has over 100 wheels to chose from that are brand new in the boxes for less than $350. I've purchased wheels there myself.
If you do decide to go the wheel adapter route anyways (at your own peril) , here is a link to a wheel adapter shop that can actually make a safe spacer that is custom fit to your exact vehicle and wheel. You should never buy a spacer that isnt hubcentric. Make sure to read that small print "not for use on street, for show car purposes only" http://www.motorsport-tech.com/wheel_adapters.html

and if i need centric rings they arent expensive to order as well. if im on the right mind track, i shouldnt have to to cut the studs since they are just under an 1" long the these adapters are 132$ for all 4 , 70$ for a pair
