Wheel help!!!
Sooo finally pulled the trigger on the black boss 338 wheel (20x8.5 front with 5.23 backspace /20x10 rear with 5.5 backspace) with 255/45/20 fronts and 295/45/20 rears yokohama parada spec x's.....next day get a call from discount tire telling me that there are 2 rears left in the nation and one of them has a blemish so boss scrapped it and the wait time is 6-8 weeks. They're suggesting the showwheels streeter black but I'm not sold on the name on the spokes but I could get them sooner at the same cost. Reason I need them ASAP is the accident left my current rims bent and unbalanced and even with new bearings there's still a noise when I turn because of this...any advise? What would you guys do?

Re: Wheel help!!!
I would go to the Vendor Marketplace and check with our Forum Dealers.

Re: Wheel help!!!
Maybe Idk how to use the market place but only thing I saw were the billet specialties 10% off deal but honestly if I had that kinda money I woulda gone with them or race line from the start.I paid 1660 out the door and a set of 18s is closer to 1700 alone lol man I wish I was rich sometimes

Re: Wheel help!!!

Re: Wheel help!!!
I have and honestly I kno everyone has them but not in Tucson. The c5 has been my first pic but from what I remember a set of 20s is at least 1200 but I may be wrong...sent them a couple emails yesterday since they were closed. If I went with them would black chrome or black face look better? Would probably re coat the flat black face with gloss clear too.

Re: Wheel help!!!
The Boss wheels are American made, the others are from China. This is why I ran the 338's on my Nova.

Re: Wheel help!!!
Thanks for pointing that out now I'm contemplating a 20/22 set up like n2 had in the picture...would only be a hundred bucks or so more...what do u think n2?...what were the tire sizes in the pic....my research put me at a 255/45/20 front and a 305/40/22 in the back idk if that's correct or not
