A69C10, dont take it the wrong way but brossow is right. Search all you want, you're not going to find a better deal than this. Thats why i ordered a set. Incredible deal!! Thanks to brossow and Sublvr72 for all their hard work in arranging this group buy!

DZL1.

I hope the everyone here has given Brossow a nod of appreciation for the work that was done for this offer, it beats anything out there on the net and he certainly didnt have to put it all together. It seems to me he has gotten more grief than gratitude.

Thank you Brossow.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
To everyone who has said "thank you" here, you're welcome. Haven't responded to any of these thanks directly because I really didn't do it for the thanks. I simply saw an opportunity to give a little back to the community that has helped me so much with my own project by trying to organize a group buy, and then Sublvr72 stepped up and offered to do it at cost. I tweaked the prices so he'd make the tiniest amount for his troubles (but truly more so to simplify the math for everyone by just rounding actual costs up to the nearest $5 increment) but neither of us did it for the glory.

If you benefited from this group buy, I hope you'll pay it forward by doing something good for your community when you get the chance, whether it's an online group like us or the neighborhood where you live. No need for anyone else to thank me except by helping someone else when you can. :)

Happy Easter,
Brent

Not sure how they look like knockoffs, since most I've seen on eBay use AEW's stock photos. Whatever. Happy Easter! :)

Would love to get in on this if you do a second round. I followed the thread about the fitment issues for months just waiting-guess I kinda gave up, because I missed this completely.

Sublvr72 04-05-2010 12:07 AM

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
I'll see about opening up the purchases again after things settle down. Eagle is working hard to locate all the rims you guys ordered. Once I know what they have left I'll try to open it up again for another week.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
I'm not bugging anyone about when my wheels are going to come in I am just wanting to know how to check to see if they have been shipped I dont know how too lol. I ordered them 3-28-10 from the website they were the 18s -2 so they should have been in stock. Also when I ordered I didnt create a account but afterwards I did so I could try and check my order but it would not let me any help would be appreciated and thanks guys for the sweet discount and putting this all together.

darthwall 04-05-2010 03:47 AM

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

They look sweet and I mounted my front 255-40-20's and they bolted right on my 96 GMC Yukon 4dr 2WD without and mods and I have the 1 1/4 inch rotors. Hopefull to have my rears tomarrow and be rollin' them soon.:metal:

Discount Tire's online outlet store does a little better on pricing than their regular website, plus has free shipping and doesn't charge tax. I've bought two sets of tires from them in the recent past and have been VERY happy with the service and prices.

If you want to try to save a few more pennies, check OnlineTires.com and try to get Discount Tire (or whoever) to price-match.

Just got mine today here in north carolina. I ordered on the first week. I got an e-mail saying 'awaiting shipment' and was expecting another e-mail saying that they've been shipped. Come home today and :metal:

Sublvr72 04-06-2010 08:55 PM

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
Yep, I just got home from eagle again, another 6 sets went out since the last time I was there. Problem is by the time I'm told they ship, you guys usually have them. lol

justincat 04-06-2010 09:14 PM

Im just wondering.....

Why would Eagle release the 20x10 before the 20x8.5, when the rears didnt have any issue fitting? I'm not complaining, just thinking out loud....

Honestly, I was thinking the same thing. No idea.

Sublvr72 04-06-2010 10:23 PM

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
ok, here's the deal for those who would still like to order wheels.

I will open up the ordering again for a 3rd round. Please be aware that there could be a delay on shipping of 30-60 days if you want to get in on this round 3 buy. I say this because I have received full cooperation from eagle's regional sales manager. If he doesn't have the wheels in stock he will personally go to the owner of the company and go to bat for us, and make sure they get built! It takes them 30-60 days to complete a run of rims so that's why I say that there COULD be a 30-60 day delay in shipment. If they are in stock at a warehouse in the US they will ship asap.

I know there are a lot of guys in the 73-87 and the 88-98 boards that expressed interest so this opportunity will be open for them as well. This will probably be the last group purchase at this price. I kind of overwhelmed myself with these orders for the first two weeks, and I under estimated how much of my time was needed to get this going, so if you want this price get in now! ;)

Ipaintgrt 04-07-2010 06:17 AM

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
So to get in on this order do I just follow the instructions at the beginning of this thread? I also need a 5 x 4.75 bolt pattern. Is this going to be a problem getting a different bolt pattern? Is it possible that these would be on back order for 30 to 60 days? Thanks for doing this for all of us. Its a great deal. S

rodstored-72 04-07-2010 10:41 AM

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
i just started to pay attention to this!...LOL!! SOOO if i read right i can get a set of 18x8black or grey wheels (like pictured on the first page) for $480 plus shipping???-on the third deal?

also i have a stock 1972 rearend with a CPP rear disk brake kit approx. 5 yrs old now, & i am wondering if the offset would pose any mounting issues? i am not sure what my rotor thick. is? but i believe they are stock-although new. i am aware of the front issues with the center cap - so can anyone tell me if the issue has been id'd & if it has been resolved??? ooh the truck is lowered 5/4.5 rear & front respectively

it really sounds like a killer deal.... if i understand right!

thanks for the efforts guys!!

My guess is you'll need a spacer for the rear. Only measuring will tell you for sure. There's a great discussion about backspacing here.

As it says in the first post, the revised 18s still aren't shipping. Yes, the problem has been identified since last year, but no, they still haven't fixed it for the 18s. It's only certain 20s that have actually started to ship.

I can get 5x4.75 as well, I'm pretty sure those are in stock. It's the 5x5 that are running low on.

Here's a few teaser pics. My truck is a '71 (although it may look like 69-70), and 'should' have the wider rear in it. I haven't measured for sure. The 10" wide rim is about .5" hitting the inside bed lip, so spacers will be needed. Hope this helps for the rear. Fronts are next. Now to find some tires. My local guy can't get matching 295/40/20 and 255/40/20. I guess internet order.

Anything from Boss in 20" 6x5.5 that would fit our trucks? At these price points it sure would be nice for all us 6 lugs boys that want 20's to get in on something. As much as I love billet wheels, $600-700/ea is a joke and it is impossible finding nice wheels for a decent price...those wheels look damn good!...
