Gen 2 Tiguan Wheels Thread

You really are convinced that there's something not quite right with people that purchase these types of wheels... Though didn't your S3 V-spokes have machined faces??

I think there's a difference between someone lumped with the wheel by default but accepts its crap vs. someone who expresses a liking for them.

Some machine finishing is fine, even if it's a pain to fix. If we can't distinguish between classic/great design and the crap below, then we need to expand the study.

I agree. I don't mind some highlights - aside from the fact that they pose a larger cost and bit of a headache for repairs. However where the complete face is machined it's a bit of a cop-out in terms of wheel design. Nothing against all the R-line owners out there but it's been done on a lot of wheels on the high-end VW's of late (Golf R, Scirocco R, GTI, etc) where you've basically got bare metal with clear coat.

Absolutely.. if we go back a decade then VW were masters of wheel design across the range.

Perhaps they mistook the uptake of the Detroit/Huff on the Mk6 GTI as an indication of future trends.

Or it was Tony Abbott's fault.

Nice colour! Like a chocolate fondue with licorice wheels.

Yes I quite like the colour. Maybe not my first choice in wheel... here's another chocolate fondue (previously featured):

Wouldn’t mind those, very simple style.

Yes I think so. Just needs a touch of lowering to complete the look

Pretty sure they're Veemann V-FS24: VEEMANN V-FS24 - V-FS SERIES - Monoblock Wheel -
