Eagle Alloy 225s or Boss 335s?

Looking to pull the trigger on a set of 20"s for Shorty. Kinda torn between the Eagle Alloy 225s and the Boss 335s. Pros/cons for each? Fitment issues?

Re: Eagle Alloy 225s or Boss 335s?

I don't have the Boss but from looking at the Eagle website
the specs are

Boss 338 20.0x8.5 BS 5.240
Boss 338 20.0x10 BS 6.230

I don't think the backspace works well with our trucks (I could be wrong)..........wouldn't be the first time.

Thats one reason I ended up in the China Syndrome......with the Ridler 695

Size and BS seems to be close to ideal .....(though I could be wrong)........but I doubt it since I own a set.

I daily drive mine with eagle 225s, and have had them for a year and a half now. I wanted some pretty sweet looking wheels for not much coin. My only complaint is polishing the wheels, but you have to expect that for pretty much any polished aluminum finish.

Every time I wash it, which I admittedly don't do as much as I should. The hoops look kind of dull unless you run some polish over them.
