Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
I ordered 20x10 and 20x8.5 Grey finish on Thursday and the 10"s came into the store on Friday from the local warehouse in Chino Ca. I was told that the 20x8.5 were still a week or two away as of thursday (but hope you guys are right that they are landing now !)I didn't get them thru the group buy because as I was shopping tires and the asst manager (Javier) at my local American tire in Fullerton met the price and since he showed me some Love on mounting and balancing I went that route.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
Got mine in this past week - thanks again to Sublvr72. I still have to get the nose on my rotors turned down, but that's not a big deal considering the discount we all got.
cell phone pics are kinda crappy, but you get the idea.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
I need to know if the 18's are available right now? If they are, I'm thinkin about cancelling my order for the 20's and just getting the 18's. Also, would I need a different caliper for 1" rotors if mine are currently 1.25"?? I know I need a different spindle, but not sure on the caliper? If so, where can I get them?
Planning on ordering new spindles and rotors anyways, and was under the impression if you use 1.25" rotors you have to grind down the end of the hub AND run a spacer, and with 1" all you have to do is grind the end of the hub. (For the 18" wheels)

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
What round was your order in? If it was the third, it said in the first post at the time you ordered (now edited to say GB is over) that it could be 60-90 days before the wheels would ship.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
See, I was told that mine were shipped over two weeks ago. Only reason I know that is because I had called to cancel my order. I sent a PM yesterday to find out what's going on with the order, and have not got a PM returned. I beleive I was told the damn things shipped because they didn't want to give me my money back, so rather than giving the money back they made up a BS story about them shipping probably hoping I would stop calling. I asked that since the wheels had shipped I wanted a tracking number. I was told that they don't have tracking numbers for a month; something about the wheels aren't in the system for that long???? Now how is a company going to keep up with inventory if they don't even know what they have made until a month later???? All I know is if they were shipped over 2 weeks ago they would have already had time to make it from Cali to New York and probably half way back. Now how is it taking over 2 weeks to get from Cali to Tx???? I have shipped ALOT of parts to everywhere in the US and NONE of them took more than a week and a half to arrive.
As a matter of fact, my tires came from Ca. They shipped the 18th and arrived on my doorstep yesterday, the 24th.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
Not now it doesn't, as I already acknowledged in my post above. It did while the group buy was still going on, however, and it stated a possible 60-90 wait time as production caught up with demand.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
All you had to do was read. It was there from the beginning of round three until I changed the text on May 26.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
You can still purchase through Sublvr72's website, which is linked in the first post.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
correct, the wheels are still up on the website and the prices didn't go up too much. Just a couple bucks to make it worth my while. I ended up spending a lot more time on this GB then I thought I would have to.
