I just bought a 2011 Jetta TDI used from the dealer (my first diesel and first VW, already a lifetime convert I think). It came with 18" wheels, which the salesman told me were stock, but I have never seen anything like them on another Jetta around here. They seem to be VW wheels, but I couldn't find anything online about them.

Would any of you be able to identify these wheels? I mostly just want to know what size tires they're supposed to be running.

Thanks.

(I apologize for the picture, I'm at work and the only easy-to-post picture is from the dealer's website)

There are just too many to list....
I cannot find one in ETKA that looks exactly like that. The Vision is close, but not quite.

If they are in fact VAG wheels, they will have a part number somewhere in the casting, on the backside though.

Tire size is on the vehicle placard, but if the wheels were changed it won't apply of course.

All 2011 Jetta TDI sedans came with 16" ("Mambo") wheels. I don't think there was an option for bigger wheels unless the dealer or original owner did it.

Those look aftermarket to me - they just put VW center caps on them.

Thanks guys, I talked to the maintenance guys at the dealership and they confirmed they are aftermarket rims and are looking up the part # for me.

Sorry, no help, but is that tab just above & inboard of the fog light your heater plug-in? Nice installation if that's what it is.

Thx. I've been told we Alaskans are almost Canadian. Hehe.
