    I have the 18" Grids on my truck. This picture was taken about 9 months ago before 95% of my upgrades/mods.

    I love my nv’s but the center caps make me cringe every time I look at them. So after 6ish months, I finally took them off and painted my hubs. I love them more now.

    Not that crazy over the center caps either, but I’m not dropping $160 on new ones.

    I think NVs look better but the downside (to me) is their popularity. Seems like everyone has them.

    Jesus man, those side steps should be ilegal for your truck. Most excellent truck, otherwise.
