Nice! Congrats!

Did your wheels come with center caps? I havent found a color matched set for cheap yet and my wallet is afraid to go to Nissan.

yeah, i'm unsure what to do about the center caps now. Iv'e only briefly thought about it and was in a hurry today and forgot to look and see if my old ones are going to match, or if I need to order the darker, gunmetal color. Anybody know if the Frontrier wheels have a darker center cap? Here is a pic of the tires. Toyo ATII, P275/65/R18. I was originally going with the BFG 285/65/18 but they can't be found anymore and I do not like the newer KO2 version of them. So, my ultimate plan was to improve my ride quality so I am going wit hthe biggest P rated tire they offered. Also a little cheaper and they weigh substantially less than the LT tires so fuel economy will be a little better than what I projected.

If you don't mind, where did you get them and how much did they set you back?

Where did you order these wheels from?

There are a number of places, other than the actual dealership, that sell OEM Wheels at reasonable prices.

Yeah I took a closer look at the center caps a few days ago and called Nissan. They wanted $60ea for the new caps. I couldn't bring myself to pay that much for those simple little pieces that I took a new wheel and all my center caps to a body shop and had them painted to match. The little chrome Nissan logo pops out so it stays chrome (I wanted that for sure) so much cheaper as well this way.

I found the wheels from a thread a few years back on here under the General section if I remember. It had a link to an ebay sell and it was still good. Just ebay search Frontier wheel and it's like the third option to pop up.

They were $100ea (absolute bargain imo) bnib, but they are factory blems. I can't find anything visible on any of the 4 I bought on the front side, I do see some very minor scratches around the back lip but again, very minor.

I've been busy so no new pics yet, I switched tire choices again. No more all terrains... I will update in a week or so when I get time to work on things.

Just read the post above me again, I have the new wheels sitting at another house of mine I'm never at but if I remember from the packing slip that's where they came from. that sounds familiar. They shipped out of Nashville and were at my doorstep, well packaged in less than48 hours from the time I ordered them. But, I'm in Memphis so they did not have far to go... However, the seller did get them out of their doors quickly. I would recommend them.

Hey, thanks for the help then! I still have not got them mounted on the truck yet. I want everything done at once and with the lift being a little time consuming I'm gonna still be a few weeks away from having all this done.

In all honesty, you could probably get away without even painting the center caps at all. They are so small that it would only look abnormal to us basically. But yeah, I will post a pic of the ones I had painted, they match fine and look nice and clean again.

I'm definitely ok the way there are. I plan on blacking out the emblems and getting some of the plastics back to black. When all that happens I'd rather not having the bright shiny silver on the wheels and will properly address them then ;)

I do love those wheels though, you'll get a lot of complements
