    I don't get it. I doubt that anyone has had time to get anything aftermarket. I could be wrong but I highly doubt it.

    Do you have much room for a bigger tire? What size tire is that? Hope to see some more pics here.

    Not my car but, it looks like there's room. I would just go with a smaller 18 or 19" wheel to keep some rubber and not throw off the speedo.

    There are only about 8 or 9 people on Vortex that own a Tig. All the pics i've seen don't have any aftermarket wheels.

    Eurofighter just does not get it. I am more curious about the upper control arm and strut clearance. Good point though, don't want to throw off the spedo to much.

    I actually like this thread. Although I do not plan on buying aftermarket wheels or tires, I do enjoy looking at the pics. You actually would be surprised at the number of people who have already purchased larger wheels. If you go on ebay, you will find sellers with original equipment who upgraded their wheels. I think this thread is very relavent.

    I'm looking at getting a set of VW 18" Davenport Rims

    My dealer doesn't have any and I've never seen a Tig in the flesh with them fitted, has anyone seem them in real life, if so what did you think...are they worth getting?

    The Tig I've order comes with 17" Boston wheels...do you think you would notice much ride quality change by going up one rim size (all the Tigs I've test driven have only had 16" rims)

    But... technically anyone who has bought snowtires and spare rims have aftermarket rims.

    Just saying....

    Don't forget about us snowbound guys.

    Wow, Kim... nice use of the Serch function rather than starting another thread... I hate it when we have 15 kazillion thread about the same thing because people fail on searching.

    And, just about anything that fits on a MKV fits on a Tiguan, the wheel options are limitless, you just need a slightly larger (+1) tire. I had 19x8.5 LM reps on my gti, I was going to swap them over, but the tig came with 18's and I couldn't justify the new tire cost vs just selling the wheels and tires as is.

    So I have 18's, but... I have SEL rims on a SE... does that count??

    ok so i photoshopped a tiguan that i think looked good. not the greatest photoshop and i could have done better but IMO this is what a modded tiguan should look like.

    LOOK OUT the Tig God's will not like this thread (You guys know who you are)

    I however think most of these look pretty damned good.

    "Answer"
    My Tiguan came with steel wheels not the standard alloys as the factory had run out. No one in the uk had any so decided to have the Davenports fitted as an alternative to the stock ones. Personally I think they look brilliant & have the advantage of been easy to keep clean between all the spokes etc.
