I really like the BOSS 338 wheels, of coarse, who doesn't! Anyway, I also like the Eagle Alloy 225's, but really don't care for all that chrome shiny stuff.
I am really thinking about the black 338's over the gray. What ya think?

And the 225's:

ftw

See, everyone does them in gray. My truck is cherry red, and I've seen a similar style on the color of my truck, this is Phils truck with Coys:

So I know what the gray would look like on my truck, I am really thinking the black......
This is the truck they will be going on(non TMS members):

Jeff, you may need to do some photoshopping for me!!

/\ 30,000 mile ZQ8's may be up for sale

 

[pewter_dime_99]

oh man those are some mint zq8s!! love the chrome center capss

and i've always loved the 338s, but have been warned against them cause they only come in 5x120mm and ive always been told they they are not as perfect fit as a true 5x4.75...

i dunno, lots of guys run em so i imagine they'd be fine. lol. i do love those wheels.

i think the grey would look the best, but the black is just as sweet.

Jeff, the only issue I have read about is using 1/4 spacers up front and 1/2 longer studs so they clear the dust covers. But your'e saying they are not specific 5/4.750?

 

[pewter_dime_99]

no from what i've read they are 5x120mm, which is close to 5x4.75, but they fit just a little off and can put stress on the lugs. just from what i've read. i dunno cause alot of guys will run the 120mm cause 4.75 is actually 120.65mm. lol. i know it doesn't sound like much but there are some dudes that won't touch em cause of that and like to warn people about em.

not sayin i wouldn't run em, just throwin out what i've read about em. i do love those wheels.

I just talked with Steve aka mrwheeldeal, and he told me BOSS has fixed the S-Series issues...........
I guess we will see. But my goal is to have the wheels on by the June 5th cruise in Springfield.

 

[jtcfanof3]

Ok, ordered the wheels yesterday, got a good deal to. But I went back to a gray wheel instead of the black, why?

To much of a contrast between the colors, so I stuck with gray. I went with all 4 18x8(staggered only looks good on reg cab IMO)and a 245/40/18 tire, this was as close as I could get to stock overall diameter.
Pics up when they come and I get em on!!

 

[pewter_dime_99]

nice! i'm glad you went with the grey!!

 

[jtcfanof3]

Got three of the wheels today,fourth and lug nuts are on their way. Sadly, even after being assured the front's would clear the grease cap, they do not. Even though AEWC says they have the problem fixed, they do not. I am awaiting a responce from Steve at www.mrwheeldeal.com about the issue.
Here is the one I did get mounted to see how they look:

 

[jtcfanof3]

OK, got the issue resolved, Steve is sending me 1/4 spacers for free to resolve that, now I have to get 1/2 longer studs and get em in, but until then, the fourth wheels and lug nuts came in today:

Glad I went gray...........

 

[pewter_dime_99]

looks gooddddd

 

[evolution1971]

Yeah, looks real good.

Later,
Shawn

If you dont mind me asking how much did they cost ya. My buddy got the black with chrome lip ones and he had about 1500 off ebay with tires. I am looking into getting some 335s, waiting on a quote from mrwheeldeal.

 

[jtcfanof3]

$1100 from mr wheeldeal.

 

[chevy power]

Got my quote 1458 boss 335 with tires shipped. Not bad probably paying for the chrome. I want some 339s but i dont think they make them in the right offset

 

[Packers]

whoa i only paid 654 shipped for black w chromes wheels with black lugs
