Check with Sublvr72. Out of curiosity, what size and finish did you order?

So with the new wheels having the same issue, does it make any differnce whether I order the -2AA version in 18" or wait for the -3AA version in the 18" to be made?

Depends. I don't know of anyone who has compared the two side by side to measure the hub bore from top to bottom. What I gather from reading elsewhere is that the bore changed in places, but not enough at the "front" side where the interference was an issue on our trucks. My impression is that the required clearancing of the hub is considerably less than previously, but both revisions will require work. It's only an issue up front, so if you don't mind taking a little more material off the front hub and want the wheels right away, -2 is the way to go. If you aren't in a hurry, personally I'd wait for the -3 and not need to remove as much material from the hub. All depends on your needs.

If you look a few pages back, you will see that black fronts are on back order.

I finally got my wheels. I was really starting to stress without any tracking numbers and all that. You can get an immediate tracking number when you buy something off Ebay, so I thought that was a little strange. I ordered them on 4/10. Then when you order you were supposed to select Fed Ex for shipping, and then when they showed up they were on a UPS truck. Anyways they are beautiful!!!!!!! I'm glad I did it, thank you to the guys that did all this for us. Scott

Glad you got 'em. You might have noticed this isn't eBay and Sublvr72 had AEW drop-ship the wheels to all of us, so he really didn't have good access to tracking info, nor could he control which carrier was used. Hate to see people too worried -- the very worst case scenario is that you have to call your credit card company and tell them you didn't get your merchandise and they reverse the charge. Moot point now, but no need for anyone to worry. :)

LOL I would hate to go to the worst case scenerio cause I already recieved my tires for my wheels just no wheels

The -3 revision? Last I heard the -3 revision in 20x8.5 chrome wasn't shipping yet. If you got the old -2 revision, that's really not news.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
I'm waiting on grey 20x8.5/20x10's in the group buy.

Just wondering if they are still shipping or if they ran out and need to produce more.

I had no idea they were ready. I'll call and follow up now.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
Just another update as a lot of you are starting to call me, PM me, and email me for updates-

Keep in mind that the orders are out of my hands and are being filled by eagle. The Southern California office is doing ALL the leg work on locating the rims across the country and shipping them from the closest warehouse that has them in stock. Aside from the 300 wheel orders I placed with them from this group buy they have thousands of customers as well that they need to take care of. I have one representative working with me to fill all the orders and he has to work with all of the 35+ nationwide warehouses to make sure they handle the orders properly. That includes calling them to make sure they have them in stock, inspecting the rims to make sure they are of good enough quality to ship, and following through to make sure they did ship the order and then updating me to let me know they went out.

It's a pretty lengthy process. I talked to eagle today and they shipped another 6 sets of rims out between yesterday and today. They have another 12 orders left to fill (out of about 65 orders) and ship. The problem with those orders is when the follow up with the warehouses that have them they are told that they either no longer have that inventory (it was sold before the order was filled) or that they are not in good enough condition to ship (damaged in the warehouse).

Believe me, they are working EXTREMELY hard to make sure that all of you guys are getting taken care of, and they will ship as soon as they can locate a set in stock and in good enough condition to ship out.

SOME good news. Well I received my 20 x 10's today, but no email notification that they were on the way and no 20 x 8.5? UPs guy said he did not have anything else. The two I did received look great. Hopefully the other two will show up in the next couple of days?

So what mods are you doing to get your 18's on?
How come you did not wait for the -3-AA version?

There are currently no 20x8.5 in chrome at the moment, they are waiting on the production to get some in the warehouses. I was there on Tuesday and they showed me their national inventory and it was -18 which means that they were over sold. :waah:

The back tires look so sunken into the wheel well. Would a spacer fix that and bring it to the fender well. It looks great otherwise.
