My New 18" Wheels - on the cheap...
I wanted some half way decent wheels for my truck, but I didn't want to spend $1000+ for them. After searching on eBay, I found that 18"chrome wheels off an Infiniti QX56 will fit a 6-lug Silverado. I got a set of new take-offs for $539 shipped on eBay, then put 265/60/18 Falken Ziex ST/Z tires on them. Just got them on this weekend and I couldn't be happier with these wheels for the price!

No problems at all. The tires are .4" taller than stock so they fit well. I think I read somewhere that there is a .5" difference in backspacing compared to the stock 16" wheels, but that really wasn't an issue. Stock wheels/tires were 52 lbs. and the new ones are 68 lbs. according to my bathroom scales. I almost bought some of the gunmetal grey 5-spoke Titan wheels, but I thought these looked a little nicer.
