275/30/19 on the rear.

JIC coilovers on the way so I can tune the suspension

I know the pics are a bit bright, but these are GunMetal spokes in case you were wondering with chrome inner and outer. Matches up nicely with the Titanium and gives a bit of contrast. With this wheel package, I damn sure gotta watch out for those curbs! Sexy fat lip, but NO protection!

The wheels look fantastic! Not to be too much of a downer, though, but I have to ask - why would you buy premium, top quality wheels, and put crappy, bottom of the barrel tires on them? (Nitto 555)

Sorry,

That was pretty harsh, but I do strongly agree. I would expect either a S-03 or Pilot Sport 1 or 2 on those wheels. I am jealious though~ That is the same size wheels and tires I am getting soon.

Congrats,

Troy J.

The tires were free (pretty good reason). I doubt it'll take long to wear them out. Originally they were going to give me Falken FK451s but they had these in stock.

Very, very nice indeed. Best Volks I've seen. How much did they set you back?

I don't have the wheels on yet because weather still doesn't permit. I'll try to get pics of the wing sometime this weekend. I'm having second thoughts about putting it on, so I think I'll set (not mount) it on the car and take some pics and let you guys help me with the decision.
