Old:

New:

Old and New (note: perspective issues make the new rolling diameter look quite larger when in fact it is barely any different)

Old and New on car (note: terrible lighting as it has been raining all morning but it was the best i could do and i wanted the shot)

Are those 20" rims?

**stuooz** · 23-06-2010, 11:56 AM

yeah looks sweeeet.. just need to drop it a bit now.. what size tyres did you end up getting?

**team_v** · 23-06-2010, 11:58 AM

They are 19 x 8.5 ET45 Omanyt Replica's in Shadow Chrome.
Fitted with 245/45R19 Kumho Ku31's to keep the load rating.
Getting some H&R springs when the dollar goes back over the US$0.90 mark.

I was considering 20" wheels but the the profile of the tyres would be pretty small and the cost per tyre is quite a bit more.

New pictures of the wheels fitted for you guys.
The whole lot of pictures are in my deviantart profile (Team-v-Tig's Gallery)

That looks great mate, definitely one of the best looking tigs on VWW!

Thanks for the kind words mate.
Have a few more mods to go before she's finished but the look is definitely different to most other Tig's i see.

I am now wondering what it would have looked like if my Tig was black instead of blue.
The only colour would be the wheels and the slot of red in the tailights.

Oh well, now it looks like my tig got in a fight as it's black and blue.
Dusted a Mk5 GTI on my way home tonight as well.

Team_v - all sounds very similar to my Tig at the moment!

1.) I put the darker hella front lights in about a month ago
2.) Did the plasti-dipped chrome about 6 weeks ago
3.) lowered it with H&R's
4.) debadged it (well, half of it..)
5.) APR Stage I tune
6.) and APR Carbonio Stage I + II...

My Tig is black, and it looks mean now! I have more plans to come, but all in due course.....
