    Nice. What tyres are you putting on?

    And are you getting flared guards to go with these?

    Tyres? As in brands? Not sure yet ill shop around and see what's the best value fit the price..
    No flares for now, see how they look on first. Would look good with flares but at $700 ish it's a bit "how ya going"

    Good choice! Black is always better, less brake dust to clean. Reps?

    Definitely a good choice in terms of look and ongoing maintenance.

    RS6 was on my shortlist at the time, but wasn't available in black.


    Would recommend the tyres most of us have with 19".

    P.S. Should have posted this into the Alternative Rims sticky and will most likely end up there once Transporter spots this!

    VW badges for the centre caps. You wont need the flares unless you get more ET out there.
    Very nice rims anyways.. cant wait to see a pic of them fitted.

    Careful with the 255 wide tyres, they may poke 10mm more than what's legal, with that width/offset... (May... ??) Interested to see how you go!

    Lookin' good!

    ...and guys and gals, if anyone is after the brand new 17" wheels with the brand new tyres, there is a Tig owner who is selling his wheels due to the upgrade. The link to the thread; EOI: Brand New Tiguan 155TSI 17inch Wheels and tyres
