Gen 2 Tiguan Wheels Thread

Lovely wheels! I’m a fan of the matte finish (glossy not so much)

Exactly what tigger said.

There are decent reps out there (at the end of the day there can only be so many decent original designs out there), but they won't usually be sold by the dodgy discounters.

I was looking for a gloss finish on these OZ as the black pack on the car is a gloss finish so I'm keeping that theme going. In other circumstances I would definitely opt for a matte look. To borrow a pun for today, horses for courses.

Going for a bit of a theme... given it's Melbourne Cup

So as long as the Tiguan is doing something an entirely stock ride is postable?

Love those wheels and how low is that car? It looked like a station wagon from photos.....

The answer is way too low to drive on the road but fortunately as it’s air suspension it can be raised for when not taking photos or posing.

The problem with doing this legally in Australia is that it’s very expensive to get this properly engineered.

I believe a lot of these cars that are lowered notch the chassis rails to get the required clearance which is a big no-no in terms of the structure of the car.

I’ll see if I can dig up the specs on the rims.

Also note that because the wheels actually disappear into the wheel wells they have to sit inside the guards as opposed to others which just rest the guard down on the lip of the rim and stretch the tyres to the max to pull them inside the guards.
