Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Man I hope mine came in today got a shipped email yesterday. Cant wait to surprise my dad when he comes home and sees new 20s on his ride.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

since i will be receiving the -2 what would i have to modify to make them fit perfect without sapcers?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

tek970, I am in Houston too, and I will be getting the -2's, I'll let you know what we end up doing. First thought is that were gonna chuck the wheel up on a manual lathe, and just open up the wheel hub bore. But I'll keep an eye on the thread and post up what we end up doing.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I am getting the -2 18s I am just going to take a lil off my hub should work fine

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Got my wheels today! I was expecting to get them next week since I was on the 2nd order.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Really dumb question: what style lug nuts do these wheels take, the tapered seat (acorn) or shank style? Want to get some ordered ASAP.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Good Question, I would like to know aswell

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I cant remember what they are called, but I had a set on my integra's rim's. theyre shaped so a certain socket can only be used to take them off. That way you dont get hooligans getting any ideas of a quick theft. Thats what Im going with, even tho I live in the boonies and theyre really isnt much crime. Any wheel shop can get them if I remember right.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

something like this i think

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

that is if they are available for our size lugs.....

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

No, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the seat.

This is a shank-style lug nut:

And this is an acorn or conical seat style:

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I knew that was what you were talking about, I just assumed it would be acorn as most aftermarket wheels Ive owned had been. I was just showing those type of lug nuts....

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

There is a 72 Nova at work that has the 338 (18's) on it and it has the Acorn style lugs.... No pics sorry!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Just got my SHIPPED CONFIRMATION E-MAIL!!!!!!! WOOOHOOOOOO!

DZL1.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

DUH! :dohh: Answered my own question by doing something radical: I checked the AEW web page about the 338s. :lol:

They're acorn.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Got my Shipping Confirmation Email today!!!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I have been trying to buy a set of the 338's two 18x8's and two 20x10's with a 5x4.75 bolt pattern in Chrome. I tried the audimated website and when it asked for the type of finish it only showed black or gray, no chrome. I have also pm'd sublvr72, I e-mailed him at the link on the first page, and I have also called and left a message on the phone on the first page. I would really like to get in on this buy but I'm not having any luck contacting anyone. I can be reached at scottscustompaint@bendcable.com, or please call me on my cell at 541 815 2157. or ofcourse PM me if you would like. Thanks Scott

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

What a bummer, i bought a set of these wheels and they finally arrived today to my dealer 20x8.5 and 20x10 i got my tires mounted and brought them home only to figure out that the hub bore is wrong. If i get the correct bore for the front, are the back wheels going to look any different or will i have to swap them in too?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Sorry, the phone system was down for most of yesterday and today. We were doing system upgrades and the phones are tied into the systems. I'll be around most of tomorrow and the phones should be back up as well.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Different center caps between the -2 and -3 revisions. Haven't seen them in person so I don't know how noticeable the difference is. At least you've learned a valuable lesson about test-fitting wheels before mounting tires.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

The caps mount differently so they might look a little different. But you should be okay otherwise. Welcome to the board. Truck in your avatar looks great!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Mounted some fatty 285/35s on my 18x9.5s after work. I love the deep dish on these wheels!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Thanks! I was building a 1971 gmc for about the last ten years while looking for a finished truck all that time. I finally found one close to what i wanted and got a good buy. The main thing i wanted to change was the wheels. As you guys know they were on backorder for a while. I'll post a new pic when i get the new wheels

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

the bad thing is i was worried about the rear wheel fitment and brought one of the 20x10's home and mounted it up, i just never dreamed about the bore not being right.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

test fitted the wheels i bought for my dad. going to order 295 45 20 and 275 45 20 for front

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Man. Ya'll are really making me wish my wheels would come!:lol:

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Is there a price list posted some place?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

On the 1st page.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

How did you make it to this thread without seeing the first post? Look for the bold PRICING heading. :)

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Cuz I skipped and went to the last page.

:mm:

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

How much longer is the buy going on? Gotta convince my wife/boss to let me do this. Economics is what I will try to persuade her with. :lol:

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

At this price, it's worth making her mad. :lol:

(But seriously, no idea how long this will last so you might want to pick up some flowers on the way home from work tonight.)

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Got mine ordered! Thanks Sublver72 and brossow for making it happen!
Still contemplating tires, going with the 20X8.5, 20X10 combo on a 1986 SWB with a 4/6 static drop - any suggestions?

Thanks Again---

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I'm going with BFG g-Force T/A KDW, 245/40 up front and 295/40 out back.

EDIT: Specifically, I thought I'd share the deal I made. I found the best price at OnlineTires.com, which for me came to abut $691 shipped for the tires mentioned above. Then I called Discount Tire Direct and they offered to beat the price at $680 shipped. Then I went to my local Discount Tire (brick and mortar store) and told them what I'd been offered by DTD. They gave me the same price: $680 out the door with tax and all. But on top of that, there's a $60 BFG/Discount Tire rebate for the next couple of weeks, bringing my total cost to $620. Unless you're local to OnlineTires.com and don't have to pay shipping, I don't think you'll find a better price than that on BFGs.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I'm still trying to purchase some of the Chrome 338's in the staggared set, 20x10's and 18x8's, with a 5x4.75 bolt pattern. There isn't an option on the website for this combo. I spoke with Sublvr on the phone and he was going to work on it but didn't have it up on the website before I had to go to work. I'll try again tommorrow.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Man those look good. I assume they are the -2AA version.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Of course they are. The -3 hasn't shipped yet.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I know. Thats why I wrote I ASSUME. LOL. I was really doing some wishful thinking and he would say that they were the -3 version.

I just got a truck load of parts from CPP and those wheels will be the next item!!
