Nice work with the wheels - that is a serious bit of kit! How is the ride? I also want to know if you are considering getting some H&R springs in and whether they will fit after lowering?MY10 Tiguan 125TSI | Pearl Black | Manual | Comfort Pack | Kamei Eyelids | MDI | Not Leather | Rubber Floor Mats | Kids | Random Spillage | VWWatercooled Sticker | APR stage I | H & R springs | ECB nudge barComment

I think coilover dumpage is required with these wheels

has anyone played with the +/-10% thing for winter tyres to keep everything accurate if you go bigger?VWDCQ - president, attempting to get air & water together to keep dubism alive

When i first saw the 30 and 25 series profile tyres i was thinking the ride will be terrible,but to my surprise the car ride is better and handles a lot better...i say more feedback.Originally posted by Captain Bungers View Post
As long as the missus don't complain...i'm happy with that.
Will look into some sort of lowering in future....maybe a set of coilovers. My recent purchase of these wheels and tyres is killing the budget

From all reports the H&R coilovers are excellent, total lowering of about 2.5" all round, just right IMO. Yes I want some

These were for sale at volkspower, burwood VIC when i was down there yesterday... Maybe a tad exe for used, but they may consider offers? Glossy black, would look pretty nice on, IMO...

3k is a right royal rip off.
You can get some classy wheels that weigh less for much less $$$.
Also have to factor in the cost of tyres since the Tig runs a larger profile.
My new wheels arrive on Wednesday!Comment

Yep they better be made in Italy!Originally posted by team_v View Post
But I reckon you can buy reps of these (direct from China) for about one-third of the cost!

Golf offset wouldn't be too great for a Tig either from memory.2008 VRS Wagon. Yellow, very yellow!

Agreed.Originally posted by Pullstarter View Post
You would want somewhere between a 35 and a 45 for wheels in the 8-9" wide range.Comment

Picking up my Tig in 2 weeks and wondering if anyone has bought 18" wheels from a dealer, and if so what did you pay? My 125 is coming with 16" and the dealer said getting 18" would be expensive and I'd be better off buying from the US?Comment

I got my 19" wheels from the US for $1700Originally posted by tonecj View Post
Add $1k for rubber to that and i am happy.
18" will no doubt be less pricey than that and it really depends on what type of wheels you are after.
VMR/Rotiform etc will be around the 1k figure for 18's from memory.Comment
