Jimmy: I know the look you're going for. I'd say go with titanium gunmetal or mercury silver. Mercury silver will give it a sporty look but not too racer-esque. On the other hand, the titanium gunmetal would match your SD headlights nicely.

Yes, I think if i do pull the trigger, maybe Titanium Gunmetal... Gold is nice.. but I do not want to draw that much attention. Plus.. gunmetal is more appealing color to most people... rather then gold or black...

Now i just need to find a good price...

Any rubbing issues with your car? Are your fenders rolled or shaved?

I might go with 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 because I plan to share this set with a 2IS....

i have the same size tires as tarnut and no problems with rubbing. the rears are just wide enough to clear the stock fenders with no prob. i was thinking of going to 275/35 on the rear but the guys said it might be cutting it close when going over hard bumps....i still use this as a daily commuter so didn't want to risk it.

Shaving a few mm from the rear fender may provide you with just enough clearance for 275/35 out back.

Jimmy: I think there is a vendor in the vendor marketplace that is currently offering promotional pricing for those Volks.
