Rims mounted today!!

I've been waiting a few weeks for this all to come together, but I finally got my wheels modified (the hub bore needed to be machined ) and mounted up. They're 18 inch take-offs from the 07 Cadillac Escalade, mounted on 255/45-18's and they fit perfectly. My next move is to take another inch out the rear to close the gap up a little more to match the 2 finger gap up front. And before anybody asks.....I'm keeping the wreath logo's on the caps, I like em that way. On to the pics:

Why get them plain? Get the Chevy caps.
