Hey everyone, I've been thinking about doing something that might seem foolish to some but here it is, I am wanting to buy the black Boss 338 (chrome lip?)an get rid of my black bullitt wheels (machined lip). I just had a good deal at the time of purchase of the wheels and it was perfect for my budget at the time. But now I love the cleaner look of the 338's and even though they cost more than twice as much I kind of have the budget to make it happen. But is it really worth it on a common sense level? Maybe not but somebody please give me a reason to do it.... Please tell me it's ok and worth the extra $$. But honestly if it is silly knock me into reality.... Smoothly. Thanks!

 

This is confusing. You want to buy the 338s, but then immediately say you loathe the look of the 338s...

I'm going with don't buy anything until you find something you want. A good deal on a Chevy Aveo doesn't mean the Aveo all of a sudden becomes totally frackin' awesome... it's still an Aveo, and if you don't like it, the deal is... silly.

Save your money.

 

Edit, thanks I was busy watching Thor with my son and got mixed up on my thought process.

 

I do like the bullitts just didn't have the money for what I thought I wanted at the time and never really thought of going with black in the first place. But now after seeing them on a similar car as mine I liked the overall look. And for the price it was too much for me to pass on. I just recently even discovered the 338 and I've grown a lust for them. It's like when you first get a girlfriend and you just go out with her cuase the one you like just turned you down. But then you meet her cousin and immediately are blown away by the beauty and even though your girl is alright she just doesn't have that "wife" material and she keeps complaining cuase you don't wash the dishes and rub her feet or go on double dates with her annoying friend that just talks smack about men all day long...... Wait what were we talking about?

 

Do it. The 338s are sex on the 2010+ cars. Sell your Bullitts to offset some of the cost. Do you still have your stock wheels and tires?

 

I like the Boss 338's much better. As stated already its a cleaner look and more upto date rather than the dated look for the Bullitts on the 2010+ body

 

Bump in the road,.. No one has the 20x10 anywhere. I guess I might save more and get something else. Any suggestions?
And yes I have the five star 19" wheels

 

I'd hate to do 20x8.5 all around so i guess it's been decided for me.

 

Look for a used set?

 

ebay and a Boss 338 wheel dealer. Dont do 8.5 all the way around, go with 10" or dont get them. I think you might regret it.

 

oh, guess I missed the part where the wheels are only 8.5". I would not do that either

 

Just ordered the same wheel for my car. http://www.mrt-direct.com/ They have them in stock. I went with 20x8.5 for the front and 20x10 in the rear. Ordered them Wednesday and recieved them Friday, shipped out of Ohio.

 

Forgot to add they were $829 shipped

part number for the front 20x8.5's is
3387-2828-3

and the rear 20x10 is
3387-2012-2

 

congrats now what size/brand tires are you going with?
these right?

 

I just did these

 

I went with the Hankook 245/40/20 for the front and 275/35/20 for the rear.

 

 

Yea I wanted to go wider and tall on the rear but couldn't find a combo that worked for what I wanted. I wanted to go 295/35 or 295/40 on the rear. They do work pretty good imo.

 

i did the 255/35 and 295/35 but now I need to lower

 

Thanks, if you can, post some pics once you mount them.
