They’re a straight swap on Photoshop but these are basically the Arteon wheels. I’d have to check specs but you’d be hunting for a set that comes up second-hand.

Also this vehicle has been lowered so looks better with less arch gap.

haha :P

you guys posted a set on a white tiguan earlier in the thread (non photshopped!).

you are right, the drop does enhance the look.

looking forward to seeing yours and hearing your verdict on the ride when you install your springs

For once these would work I think.. I can't say for sure as I only did a quick check but are Suzuka x 8 ET38?

The VW Arteon's 'turbine' wheel, aka Rosario, is a 20 x 8 ET40.

As for the lowering, that was purely manual - it was a stock carsales Wolfsburg, I just dropped it 'manually'. :P

OK, stock height with the Rosario wheels, on your Indium Grey:

haha. thanks for that

i could live with that, even with the stock height

Here you go - found the original "unphotoshopped" version.

I think this may be a US car as it has the orange reflectors by the front wheel arch.

I'd concur on that basis, and because US dealers are pretty flexible in swapping wheels around and 'accessorising' floor stock.

Obviously we needed to lower that example for giggles.. trouble is, it's hard to stop at a sensible height!

At least I tried to keep the guard above the tyre. Just. ;)

:biggrin::clap:

Another photo-chop; 2018 Wolfsburg again in black, with some pretty heavy lowering, plus the BBS CH-R Nurburgring edition wheels and a bonus GTI style red stripe because tigger once said he didn't mind it on a car where it had been done.

And yes these could be fitted - a conservative stock fitment of 20 x 8.5 ET40, or a 20 x 9 ET25 which with the lowering would look pretty mean I suspect.

Oh yeah, and front badge delete. :)
