Little Update, managed to get the wheels onto the car.

I dont think I needed the Wheel arch extensions.

You didnt need them.. makes me laugh everytime I see someone posting that you need arches with 255 rubber.

Fwiw, it looks much nicer than with them anyways.. its why I got them.

You're right, it does look a lot better with the arch extensions on.

Now on the hunt for some suspension, steering wheel and couple of other bits

Did you take any pics of the arch instal process?

I didnt have time to do a write up on the install process, I did it on sunday morning before I had to go to work.
The first corner is the hardest one, the instructions are terrible. After the first corner, you can do the last three corners in about 2hrs all up.

Yeah, changed my mind. This was only $5k extra as Tiguans were on special

I've got to say that looks awesome!!!

It really has that X5ish look. Well done, and for what it's worth, leave the arches, they finish it nicely..

Where did you get your rims from for $1200. That's a decent price.

Thanks mate,

Wheels I got from a guy in Melbourne. He sometimes sells genuine wheels and parts from vw and audi's. I had my wheels ultrasonically tested, and they are genuine Audi hollow spoke wheels.

His ID on eBay is banh??, not 100% sure. He has been mentioned on this forum before.

Thanks Avdo.

I've had a look around eBay but can't seem to find that I'd. If you get a chance would you mind pm'ing me any contact details you may have from the eBay transaction?

Thanks very much.

Sounds like the same guy as was selling the Savannahs (19x9) last year? I think there was a mention of him possibly working for VW or a dealership or something?
