Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

ok, after 2 hours at eagle alloys today. I have confirmation that 4 sets have already shipped between Mar 31-today. 6 sets are waiting to be filled and should ship by early next week. And the rest of the orders are currently being filled.

Please be patient guys, eagle is working really hard to locate these wheels for you guys. I've tapped out most of the warehouses in the area on their 338 stock on hand. My sales rep at eagle has been working EXTREMELY hard to fill every ones order and is even pulling wheels scheduled to ship to different warehouses off the trucks before they go out to make sure you guys are taken care of.

So with that said, what's available right now will be shipped right now. I will update your guys orders as I get confirmation from eagle that they have gone out. Please don't email me or call me asking if your wheels went out yet. You will be emailed as soon as I get confirmation from them that they have shipped, I promise.

A few of these wheels are back ordered as you guys know (chrome most specifically) and those orders are being worked on and filled as soon as they have a set in their system. I have been told that some chrome 20's have already been going through the warehouses, so the next sets they see come in are going to be put aside for those who ordered them. Lead time on some of these wheels can be up to 60 days.

I do need to contact a few of you guys who wanted 18" rims that haven't clarified yet what they want to do in regards to fitment.

-2 revision is the only version out for 18's at the moment, so they won't fit your 1.25" rotors without spacers.

A few of you guys have upgraded to 20's, a few have said just ship them anyways, and a few of you wanted to cancel.

I will be contacting those I have not heard from individually to find out what you want to do with your order.

Aside from that, let me know if you have any problems with your wheels when you receive them, and I'm glad I was able to hook you guys up!

I don't know how I missed this one, but I assume I am too late to get the group rate?

I can probably work something out, but I would like to wait to see what is left in the warehouses before I take any more orders.

What exactly does the term "awaiting shipment" mean?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

I got my front two 20x8.5's today and I guess my rear 20x10 are coming from another warehouse. my front two that I got came from about 20 miles away from me. They look sweet and I mounted my front 255-40-20's and they bolted right on my 96 GMC Yukon 4dr 2WD without and mods and I have the 1 1/4 inch rotors. Hopefull to have my rears tomarrow and be rollin' them soon.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

I used this site and did a search for the 295 40 20 and the 245 40 20, which provided a few options.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

I am interested in a set of the staggered 18s, if the deal is still on. I could even work with a set of the old version, since I will need to buy spindles, rotors, calipers, etc... anyway. I would want the grey centers. Let me know if these happen to be available, since others are waiting on the new version.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

To everyone who has said "thank you" here, you're welcome. Haven't responded to any of these thanks directly because I really didn't do it for the thanks. I simply saw an opportunity to give a little back to the community that has helped me so much with my own project by trying to organize a group buy, and then Sublvr72 stepped up and offered to do it at cost. I tweaked the prices so he'd make the tiniest amount for his troubles (but truly more so to simplify the math for everyone by just rounding actual costs up to the nearest $5 increment) but neither of us did it for the glory.

If you benefited from this group buy, I hope you'll pay it forward by doing something good for your community when you get the chance, whether it's an online group like us or the neighborhood where you live. No need for anyone else to thank me except by helping someone else when you can.

Happy Easter,
Brent
