What about the Boss 338's

[spacepirate]

Hey guys,

I'm recently got a 68 Camaro and have been looking into some rims. I came across the Boss 338 black rims <img+src="http://www.myatltires.com/images/wheels/boss/338B.jpg">. I have a stock ride but am thinking about possibly getting the Hotchkis TVS setup in the not so distant future. My question is should I do 18x8 all around to be safe or can I fit the 18x9.5 in the rear. I don't want to have any issues when I go to lower it.

maybe this helps?

That web site was the reason I got mine. That site gave me the idea and the info for buying my 338's.

Awesome pics! Thanks for the link. I actually went with a set of 18" Show Wheels Streeters. They look pretty much the same at about the same cost. I'll put picks up when I get em' on.

While the 338 is a good looking wheel, I don't understand why a wheel company doesn't come out with a wheel in a similar price point with a little more modern styling in a nice array of backspacing.

[spacepirate]

Yep thats why I decided against them.

Boss is releasing a mesh wheel, but do not have any sizing or pricing on it yet. Probably after SEMA

Thanks for that info. I have been stewing over what wheels to buy for my Firebird and I have been waiting around for either money to free up to buy what I really want or to luck up on a deal. I could swing Boss prices. Have you seen pics? Are you going to be selling them?

sorry, it was eagle and yes we will have them available.

[srh3trinity]

Very nice!

I emailed Eagle to see if I could get some specs or a possible release date, but if they are a SEMA release, I don't have high hopes that I will get much info until they are released.

I emailed also with no response

I am keeping my fingers crossed for an 18x8 and an 18x10 like the series 225.

Looking at their catalog I have here next to me they only list them in 20x8.5 and 20x10

That will probably be the sad reality. I am sure they were designed for the 5th gen Camaro which would also mean the bolt pattern would be wrong. I will keep my fingers crossed though.

[alowerlevel]

I know, it sucks. I was really hoping to get a set of the the black ones in 18x10

I anm running the black Boss338 on my 67 Bird. fronts are 18X8 and rears are 18X 9.5. Definitely like how the y came out, perfect offset, not sticking out and made teh Bird really stand out.

I am working on my other 68 Bird (paint, body, and a bunch of interiro stuff), and am leaning towards another set of Boss - the Bird will be black, so most likely their gray style.

test fit:

it is crazy how in Nor cal, vendors were killing each other as far as pricing etc. They are going now for about $800 mounted with tires, etc.

Pics from behind on the firebird?

[geberhard]

I will shoot some up. They tuck nicely in the fender wheels :)

[John510]

If you type "Boss 338" in the sacramento craigs auto parts section there are a lot of shops selling them.

Are you sure those rears shouldn't come in half an inch (or a full inch)? Seems like you'll be rubbing tires on fenders when you lower the car...

[Rod]

So there aren't any vendors on here that are offering any BOSS wheel deals??

[FadedSS]

Looks good geberhard, what size tires and backspacing?
