Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

Thanks,

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Hey, I just got an email saying my wheels have been shipped.
Does that mean that the -3-aa 18's are done?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

No you will get the -2 if you ordered the 18s

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Well I was on the 1st group buy. But, that was before we were told they had not made the 18s yet.

I was wanting my order put on hold until the -3 came out.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Here are the tires I got:

245/45/20 Front
315/35/20 Rear

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Fat and Nasty. . . .Just the way I like my tires,

Can't wait to see them mounted up!!!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

what brand of tires?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

i got 2 18x8 for the front and 20x10 for the rear... im not sure what size tires to get... what do you think would look great for the longbed???

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I ordered mine a little while back from the website. really hoping i get them soon so i can have nice wheels for a coming up show. I'm not getting my hopes up from what i hear though :(

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I ordered 20's in grey 2 weeks ago. How long yall think I will be waiting??

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

wow we ordered the exact same wheels at the same exact time! I'm wondering the same too

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Continental Extreme Contact DWS....These are the only tires I could find in the sizes I wanted that were not $500 each....

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

x3.. but.. it's not like it anywhere close to being drivable.. =/

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

That is what I will be getting. Most big tires in that performance range have a tread life in the 200 range. The Continental's have a life in the 500s.
I had some performance tires on my other car that had great traction but only last 4k miles. I will see how long the Continentals last on my other car.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I ordered mine April 13th, nothing yet,

Summit Racing's website say's they won't be available until July 5th,

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

wow someone likes to do smoke shows or drives like a race car driver, I sure hope the ones I get last wayyyyy longer than that!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Well more like a race car driver. I didn't do "burn outs" nor was I doing any drifting. The problem is, that they are so soft, they don't "squeal". So, you don't know how much you are spinning. Apparently, every time I was shifting, boost was kicking in, and the wheels would spin. I would speed shift and when I would park, I would have black flakes (kinda like eraser flakes) all over my fenders and wheel wells.

Hopefully, the Continentals will "squeal" a little more, and I can adjust my heavy foot a little better. LOL

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Well, tires that hard (540 treadwear) should squeal plenty. I like mine a little softer and stickier. (And you pervs know what I'm talking about, so save the jokes!) :lol:

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

***New update**. I talked with Marcus from American Eagle today. He called me and said my 18" wheels were on their way to me. I talked with him a little bit. I asked him about the version -2 and the -3. He said that he didn't think they were going to do the -3 on the 18s, just on the 20s.

I am ok with getting -2 version of the 18s. I really didn't want to wait for another year for them to get -3 version done if they ever started to begin with.
So, you guys should not hold your breath waiting on the 18s.

I want to thank everyone that helped get the "Group Buy" together, and giving me the opportunity to buy these awesome looking wheels at such a good price!!!!!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Looking good my friend.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

dont be holding your breath on the delivery. it will be some time from what i have heard

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Hey guys, They had overstock on some 18x8 CHROME 5x5 wheels. I've got two sets available for $700/set plus shipping. That's $170 off normal price!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Sublvr72 - Did you happen to get my pm on the Boss 313's in 6x5.5? If not let me know and I can resend the request. Thanks!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I don't think I got it

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Wooohooo! got my wheels!
Now, I didn't wait for the -3-AA.
So, until I grind the rotor, how thick a spacer do I need?
Or, do I need to do a spacer and grind on the rotor?

Thx

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

From what I've read and seen, a 1/4" spacer should do it, no grinding required. I've got a brand-new pair I've decided not to use (gonna grind instead). Send me a PM if you want them for what I paid ($18 + S&H). :)

Brent

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

PM sent. Sounds good. Until I can get a good machine grind. Don't want to get it off balance. Or, any other screw up on brand new rotors.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

but! but! not fair

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Strut- the wheels look great on your truck....I really like black wheels.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I just finally came up with the money and placed the order, can't wait

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I thought I was waiting for the -3AA's, but when my wheels came this week they were all -2AA's... 18x8's/18x9.5's. I tried fitting my new zinc plated, cross drilled and slotted rotors in the wheels and it's not even close. :waah:
