GORILLA TEST RESULTS:
Yes, they are strong and can support way more than my weight with no problem.
These boards are stamped steel so the bottom of the board shows that. That's why they don't look good folded up. Also they are nice and large (4.5"X8") so even if they were smooth billet on the bottom, it still might look weird.
Unlike other boards, these have a steel support platform underneath. Someone mounting or dismounting will feel these to be very solid under their feet.
The chrome plating is very good and the rubber grip pad is very firmly attached. These floorboards IMO perform exactly as they should. Look great in normal position, large footing area for passenger, solid support, and once you figure out the mounting (they came without any instructions)
they really are a snap to install. The adjustable angling means you can get the angle just how you want it.
For $63.00 I'm totally satisfied.
