Gen 2 Tiguan Wheels Thread

[Gladbach]

Thanks, literally just worked that out. They're the original ones that you had one yours right? Might keep my eyes out for some.

[Entheos]

Yup. the are the original ones on the 2018 Sportline. Not sure if they came with any other model.

Yes I have a set sitting in my shed in boxes...but really need to keep them if I want/need to put the car back to stock to sell/trade in.

Yeah, I get it. Makes sense.

You can actually get the Kapstadt (5NA071490Z49) wheels from your local dealer spare parts. There is the same wheel in a silver finish (as opposed to the grey metallic) that is an option wheel and is literally half the price. I think from memory it's about $600 a rim vs. closer to $1200 for the grey metallic ones that were on my car. I was looking at getting another rim as a full-size spare but it still wouldn't have fit under the boot floor (so I got a stock 17" with 215/65R17 tyre and that just squeezes under).

I'm thinking of painting my Suzukas black similar to the Wolfburg ones. My wife has done a number on the outside ones so they need to be repaired anyway, but I though that while I'm at it I might just get them all painted (plus it might be easier for them than trying to match the polished metal look?). Any recommendations on Sydney based wheel repairers/painters?

I did that to mine before the Wolfburg's came out to try look different to every other Tig, then the Wolf came out and messed that up..

I’ve been seeing more and more tig’s with the KPS rims - but I can’t help but feel like the spokes are too skinny for the size of the car

I'm a year out on Tiguans, but I can't disagree. A fatter spoke per the bagged effort above, or a multi-spoke a la OZ ST LMs or tigger73's HRE FF15s is a better look.

Probably a duplicate, but as an example Rotiform DUS (basically an OZ ST LM minus the OZ) 22 x 9, 265/35 tyres and a bunch of H&R goodies:

If there was to ever be an official OEM+ tiguan, this is what I imagine it would look like. So clean!

I am quite the fan as well - although should an OEM+ finish at least include a VAG based wheel then?

As I am not a big fan of the Audi RSQ8 (and future RSQ7?) wheels (and even Audi acknowledges anything bigger than 23 inches makes no sense), I offer up the SQ7 wheels instead. Some nice angles and concave centre for looks, albeit being an Audi wheel the offset will make fitment fun.

22 x 10 EY26 and 285/35 tyres - but a 5x112 PCD at least.
