I'm not crazy about the emblem, but I don't even know if you can get plain inserts for these. I looked on eBay and only saw the Infiniti ones. The emblem isn't really all that noticeable unless you look for it, so I'll probably keep the inserts for now.

I'd really like to do something with my front bumper, but I've spent way too much money on this truck as it is. I just installed some Wet Okoles tonight, and those weren't cheap.

it would be neat to find a someone willing to make a center cap with a bowtie emblem.. that would be sweet.

I think those wheels look awesome... great deal you got there.. and the running boards look good too... i like that look you have going on there.

What trips me out the most is stopping on a two lane road to snap a couple of pics. Do you live in BFE or something?

That is a dead-end road in Progress City, which is pretty much unused except for when there is a farm show or something.

First...I like the running boards.
Second...are the Infiniti wheels hubcentric?
Thanks

68lbs is a little hefty for 18's, but then again, you got them pretty cheap. Decent looking wheel for the price. Good luck with them!

To answer both questions:

The Silverado hubs match up perfectly with the Infiniti wheels, so no problems there.

The 68 lbs. was for wheel+tire weight combined, if I wasn't clear before. Is that still heavy for a wheel+tire? I think my 31.5" Tacoma wheels+tires (stock 16" aluminum wheels) were about 65 lbs. They were 265/70/16, if memory serves.

They look OK, They look too stock thou, like something from the factory. About the running boards, just get some nice looking molded mud flaps, there cheap and if you get ones for your model they will be preactially invisible.
