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.

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.
