Gen 2 Tiguan Wheels Thread

[Dutch77]

Thanks guys, tough decisions to be had... it might come down to a compromise on price and quality....

The retailers of crap called it a stunt to defend their high margin, low quality sales tactics online, but I wouldn't skimp on the wheel front. Just keep it 'stock' until you have a bit more in the budget.



I can't recall who it was in the Tig thread concerned about MY18 v MY19 and resale values, but one way to destroy the resale is running one on cheap wheels.

Agree, some rims are very thin and I question if it’s durable enough?

On the cheap end no.. although I guess pottering around the 'burbs does de-risk the situation, but even then one bad council approved pothole will potentially bring tears.

Even the highest end wheel can give in the right circumstances, but something like the BBS SX is going to be a nice mid-point between rubbish and elite.

I think it was the lighting reflection on my laptop here but I thought at first that comrade Putin was involved in the test.

Actually I’ve found out who the Ozzy/Hussla knock-off was for. It’s a Vorsteiner V-FF 103

I really can’t tell the difference with original and knock off

You will when you hit a pothole.

I respect and doff my cap when I see someone's ride wearing quality slippers.

I’m thinking about changing the brake calipers only, is the brake pad reusable or gotta change both?

What’s estimated cost to replace all 4 brake calipers/pads to Brembo?
