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.

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! ;)

bump this to the next page

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!...

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
yes, I can get the 315 for REALLY cheap in 6x5.5

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?

adpostel 04-07-2010 08:57 PM

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.

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

Good Question, I would like to know aswell

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.

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:

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....

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

They're acorn.

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

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?

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.
