New Wheels for the Silverado

**Dave N** · 04-10-2006, 06:44 PM

I wanted some aftermarket wheels for my Silverado, but didn`t want to pay $1000+++ for them. So after searching around eBay I found that 18" Infiniti QX56 wheels will fit the 6-lug GM trucks. Apparently nobody wants these wheels, because there are several on eBay for under $500 for the set. I got mine for $539 shipped, and they were brand new take-offs without a scratch or mar on them. I had some Falken Ziex S/TZ tires mounted on them, and now I`m rollin` 18`s for the summer!

(Oops, nevermind the wheel wells -- the only thing I`ve done so far this spring is wash the paint)

Nice! I thought the QX56 had 20s? Maybe those were optional, with 18s standard.

I think your mistaking them for the FX35 which have 20s stock.

Nice rims Dave they match your grille good. :2thumbs:

Oh yeah. Letters + numbers...what`s the difference...

Good looks and a good buy, can`t go wrong there.

LOL such an odd combo, but it looks nice!

Looks really nice!

Will you try to find different center caps?

**Dave N** · 04-11-2006, 07:06 AM

Thanks guys. I`m not crazy about having an Infiniti logo on the caps, but I haven`t seen any generic ones (searched eBay). The emblems are really not all that noticeable unless you are looking right at the caps up close, so I`ll probably just keep them the way they are. I`m guessing that 95% of the people out there wouldn`t know what the symbol is anyway.

we have these wheels on out qx56 and they are a PITA to clean. I hate them.

But they look nice tho, just get rid of the caps, if i remember, dont the infinity logo pop off or is it molded into the cap?

**Dave N** · 04-11-2006, 12:02 PM

I think the logo is molded into the cap, but I`ll double check tonight. It would be nice if it was just put on with adhesive.

I don`t think these wheels will be any harder to clean than my stockers. Maybe a few more spokes, but I`ve definitely seen worse!
