Huge vibrations in tiguan!! Help!!

I would say go for some OZ Wheels.
They make some pretty sweet wheels and they are light weight as well.

AMG make some nice ones that will fit the Tig

[Tigger]

ok, well now you are all going to love this!!!!

I have the stock wheels on now, and Advanti are going to take their wheels and tyres and fit them to another new Tig to try it out.
I told them the problem is it will not show up immediatley...it takes about 500-1000kms to start to shake.

And now....I am getting a very slight shake through the car now with the stocks on. Not the same intensity, but very slight. It was not there before these damn wheels!!!!!!

What are the chances of damage having being caused to the car now?

probably just wheel balance being out.
Take it to a different/better place and get them to balance the wheels again.

And I want to see a Tig riding on Bentley Rims for awesomeness

Man bentley wheels would look soo good on the Tig, but they would weigh a tonne.

Helios would look the shizzle too but i couldn't find a set in the specs i was after so i didn't get them for my new Tig.



Hopefully it is just an alignemnt issue Tigger.
Could be the bolts they gave you originally have broken the holes they go into?

Definitely not, if it was wheel balancing it would be doing right from the start not after several days of driving.

I would also consider raderwerks snowflakes (BLQ-S) as a set of wheels.
Would look the shiz on the tiguan.

Its unlikely, but have you checked for a lumpy tyre? The steel belts can sometimes break inside the tyre. Had this happen to me once and it took me some time to work it out.

[Tigger]

Yep, it is not a wheel balancing issue. We have tried rebalancing this several times now at different shops.

It is prob an issue with the manufacturing of the wheels I think. I am ready to just get my money back and forget the whole idea...sadly.

I cant keep wasting valuable time stuffing around while some wheel and tyre manufacturer experiments to get it right! (I am getting quite ticked off by this whole ordeal now as you all can tell)

Thanks for your input though. Much appreciated.

It is a real shame when stuff like this happens.
This is the reason i would be aiming for quality modifications even if it incurs a further cost.

I had heard of Advanti wheels before and didn't know of any quality issues but the ones you got sure are giving you hell.
