I went with #3 but, #1 was my second choice.
I'm just tired of seeing those played out TT2 wheels on every other car & truck.

I was between 1 and 3 as well but I preferred the contrast of 1. I usually like the wheels to be either high contrast or an exact match for the color. If they are only slightly different sometimes they may look like they are just a bad color match. I really like that dark gray though, maybe satin black wheels would look better, I dunno.

Jody, what happened to the parchment color/sleeper look? Not that I don't like this but that was a really unique look for the car. I probably missed a discussion about this somewhere.

you know, you're not the first to ask that. The car has to be re-painted so if I'm going to make a color change now is the time. Initially this was my first choice for a color combo, the silver/gray. I have carbon fiber valve covers and cf accents in the interior so I thought it would blend well. Then I decided an old school look was cool, plus I've never sprayed a solid color before so I painted it the VW beige color. After painting/color sanding/buffing I wasn't as thrilled with the color as I thought I would be, then the re-paint issue came up so it made me re-consider my original choices.

It's not set in stone, I can still keep the beige. Maybe I should have added that option to the poll!
