after much consideration (and a chance to snap some pics), the BORB's will be coming off, at least temporarily. the tires were rubbing a little too much for my comfort. i'll start looking for a slightly narrower width tire. I know Cyrk had no issues with rubbing with his selection of tires, so I ,may pursue that route, as soon as the budget permits. I'm a bit bummed ( ), as they look sharp!! However, at least now, I'll feel alot better knowing I did not have to mutilate the VX simply for looks. thanks, all!

btw - as soon as I figure out how to post pics, i will.
