    Are those factory wheels?

    Yes, those are the factory 18" Sport Upgrade package wheels. I'm deciding whether to put the new tires on those or just get another set of rims to put them on.

    I'm not too crazy about the 2012 front end, but the sport looks not too bad as long as it's color keyed.

    Here's a few up close pics.. look carefully, you can see the reg wheel hiding behind the "chrome clad" hubcap..

    Instead of taking off a wheel I decided to take a look at the spare in hopes that it might not have the "chrome clad" hubcap.. and low and behold.. thar she is.. in her real form..

    Very nice... I like.

    Just curious.. Why did you trade a truck that was only six years old. I'm assuming it was paid off?

    So last Friday, I'm driving home from work and about a mile from my house I see my truck I just traded in sitting in a neighbor's driveway with a trailer hooked up to it. Did not last on the lot at all, they sold it for $20K.

    Yes, it was paid off. I wanted a new one because did not want to put supercharger on a 90K mile truck. Plus I wanted white and the Entune. I know I could have got an aftermarket HU, but I like stuff from the factory.
