I snapped a couple more pics just to show the overall effect. I'm pleased with the look and the tires actually ride pretty good considering the tread. There is some noise, but it is not unreasonable.
By the way, it's dusk in the pics so the VX has a tannish hue. It is Astral though...
Also, the last pic shows what happens when your wife isn't looking where she's backing. She smacked the front of the VX pretty hard. Lucky for me (and her) there wasn't too much damage to my VX. Her car is in the body shop this morning... grrr
