Here is the link for the original post that talks about the issues with the -2 wheels. Mine played out exactly like this. Hope this helps.

Thanks for that clarification. When I replied previously I misread the question. I corrected my post accordingly.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

Hellbent - I think sublvr has two sets of 18's for sale in the classified section ready to ship. Not sure of the spacing though. I guess I won't be the only one in the area with a set if you get some!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

I've tried calling HID Solutions with no luck and no returned calls. I need to cancel my order and get my money back ASAP.

I hope I'm ahead of all y'all -- I'm the one who got this group buy started in the first place and I'm still waiting on my front rims.

Yeah, I know -- just goofing around. I'm not in a terrible hurry, since my front tires are also backordered.

Very nice! Latest word on my 20x8.5 chrome fronts is they're not even in production and no ETA. Should have gone with grey....

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

Thanks brossow. I'm really happy with the greys. Hope you get your soon.

I have a question for ya'll that have your wheels. What are you using for lug nuts? I got a set of chrome, closed, acorns from OReilys and I couldn't get a socket in the holes with the lug nuts. I ended up using my stock nuts which were just small enough but they look bad. Plus I want some locks.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

Well, my tires are on the way. Nitto Invo; 245/40/20's and 295/35/20's. Wish I knew when my wheels would be on the way. What's very frustrating is there is a brand new set of the one's I'm waiting on, 30 minutes from my house. Oh well. Goin to argue with a grinder again.....

I didn't get the wheels, but Summit has some lug nuts that have a allen wrench type head that would work. I think they are McGard brand $40.00 a set. Nice truck and wheels.

This is a little up setting to me. I received my rear 20x10 about 2 months ago and have patiently waited for the 20x8.5. Well I guess there is not alot to do except wait.

Chatted with Sublvr72 this evening and there's a chance they may start shipping on Friday. I'll believe it when they're on my doorstep, but that's better news than we've had so far.

Any word on if the 20" greys made it to the warehouse yet?

It's been a little over weeks,
