Show me your aftermarket wheels! :)

I’ve got a 2016 Executive (charcoal gray) and am loving this vehicle. It has 21” factory wheels on it (I believe), and while they’re not bad at all, I’m looking at possibly changing out for some quality aftermarket wheels in the same size. A lot of the threads here have pictures no longer available, dead links, etc so would really appreciate seeing what all you guys and gals have on yours!

Staggered 19x9 front, 19x10 rear Porsche Panamera Turbo wheels. The offset was perfect. No spacers needed. With the properly sized tires (taller than stock Panamera tires) the AWD system hasn't complained. Cayennes run staggered AWD on factory setups (that's where I got the idea and confidence to do this).


These wheels and tires are just sitting in my basement (sold the Touareg) if anyone wants to buy them for a song. I live in the Atlanta metro.
Mine will be up for sale when I get home in Oct.

Looks great... What fender flares are those?

They are pre facelift T3 OEM flares. Also lifted the car and added Rotiform STLs in 20x9 +30.

Pretty sure these are Audi wheels. Anyways just had them refinished in Diamond Silver powder coat. I went with the Scorpion AS + 3, a little earlier for the switch this year.

I don't know if you know that they are original OEM VW wheels, named "Manhattan" (18x8"/offset 57/part# 7L6 601 025 t z31)
Original standard fitment on T1 (04-06 Touareg V8 and in my book still a bloody good looking wheel, I'm still sorry I sold my set.

Yum. Love the wheels. What lights are those on the hood? I am looking to install some similar. How did you wire them in and how are you turning them on?

I did not know that they were called Manhattan, but I was trying to keep it original and just wrapped with rubber. I love the look of the wheels and the Touareg... really something. I'm looking for a pair of 17" to put some Ko2 mud terrains on in the future but I don't have anywhere to store them! City living with two giant asshole vehicles :-D V8 Audi S4 six speed and V8 Touareg air suspension and rear lockers. In my defense I run, ride a bike, and swim more miles a week than I commute in a month in my vehicles.

Thank you!!

These are super cheap lights from Amazon and brackets from Forge Motorsport Overland. Eurowise also has a very nice bracket...

Wiring was simple and I'm using an 8 gang switch setup to control them. Wires are tied together and linked to one button in the box. Voswitch is the specific setup I'm using.

I've had these lights on my old T3 and they held up well. No water leaks and they are bright for the money... If I were to do it again I'd spend a bit more for higher quality lights and brighter output.

..and maybe some thin spacers.
