Which one of these wheels do you think would show off my brakes in the best? The Centerlines I wanted to get aren't available at their clearance price anymore. So now I'm leaning towards one of these 3. There a couple other designs I like, but they would completely hide my brakes, which I'm not trying to do, for fairly obvious reasons haha.

Here's the front hiding behind the QX56 wheels for reference.

My rear discs aren't as flashy...not too worried about them.

I'm leaning towards these right now because the distance from the edge of the holes to the hub looks to be the smallest.
Champ XL

This one looks like it'd cover up most of the brakes, but I've never seen them on a truck before.
Stingray III

The last one doesn't look like it'd show off much of the brakes either because the space between the spokes doesn't open up until near the outer diameter of the wheel. Just another option I wanted to put up.

None of the above, I like the infinity wheels the best to be honest.

I think the Champ XL's would look pretty sick. that also would depend on how much they are too. if you already own the infiniti wheel i'd stick it out with them.

I'm not going to stick with the Infiniti wheels forever. If the wheels I want don't go back on sale by the time I buy wheels I will probably end up with one of these 3. That's why I'm asking for opinions on them.

Of the 3 options, I say the stingrays would look best.

I say wheel #3. But do they come in 6 lug? And I would like to know more about your front brakes!!!!!!!!!!! Please

Wheel 3 for sure.

I think they come in 6 lug. They come up in the search when I search under 6 lug.

What do you want to know about the brakes? They're Wilwood Forged Dynalite calipers and 12.19" drilled rotors. They have a few different rotor styles in that size though. The brackets I drew up and had machined for me. I kind of want to try selling it as a kit, but I'm not a dealer for Wilwood, and I'm not a machinist so I don't get the best prices on the stuff so I haven't really tried marketing it yet.
I get a little bit better than retail price on the Wilwood stuff from a shop, but I'm still working on a cheaper machinist than what I went through for these first brackets.

Also, I went with these calipers and size rotor, because anything bigger started getting a lot more expensive.

i think i would stick with your qx56 wheels too... if anything, this is a personal opinion, but i love black chrome... so depending what styles you like, that might look awesome to freshen up the rims for you.

I borrowed a 20" wheel from a buddy of mine to see if it fit, and it was a black chrome wheel. I didn't like how the black chrome looked with my current primer scheme, which is similar to how it will be painted.
