So I got these wheels 7 months ago, just look at the pictures and you can see why I am so pissed. I contacted both Boss and the people who sold them to me to see if there is any kind of warranty on these things. I would even be willing to have them buy them back for a credit on something else, but haven't heard back. Anyone else have this kind of experience with these wheels or any for that matter and what did you do? Anyone want to buy a set of used Boss 330s? Good for painting. :) Also keep in mind, those pictures are of a clean and polished wheel.

Its the polished lip that caused that, it rust too easily and probably does not like NY winters.

I almost bought a set of Boss 330 in chrome but went with U2-55's. I would stay on top of Boss and try and go as high up as you can. Be a thorn in thier side until they have to do something.

This is exactly why I try and stay away from polished as much as possible. It's too hard to keep clean and lookin' sharp.

Yes, I am super **** and it drives me extremely nuts. There are things I can live with, but paying good money for something too have it only go to shit. That sir does not sit well with me. I have been annoying the shit out of the guys who sold me the wheel and Boss to no avail. Not ready to give up just yet.

Do you use them in the winter or do you put stock wheels on? Around here the city spreads salt on the roads when it snows. Destroys anything and everything.

looks like they were mounted in the snow/winter. polished and snow/salt never works out. ever. hope they do something for ya but im sure they will say the same thing, that they were affected by road salt.

that sucks man. it seems pretty common on them boss wheels. i know a few people that had similar issues. they either sold them or powdercoated or strip them down and polished em. they are nice wheels though

My roomate has a set of those they did the same thing in about the same amount of time. As of right now they are sitting in the living room with a fresh powder coat on them and they look tight as hell. It ran him $240 to get them powder coated might be worth looking into instead of shelling out all that money for new wheels. My boss 333's have a polished lip too and I hate it. Such a pain in the ass to keep clean for a damn week, let alone all year.

DUde not trying to be a dic$, but boss & u2 are relatively cheap wheels man. I would expect something like that if I paid 500 for a set of 26" rims (exaggerated), but you get the idea. I def would suggest getting them sandblasted and powdercoated. Best of luck!! And always remember "you get what you pay for"
