    QLD BBS / Schmidt Rims - 5x100 16" for Polo GTI

    All,

    Looking for some BBS RS or Schmidt TH Modernline rims in 16" 5x100 to fit a Polo GTI... Ideally looking for rim sizes anywhere from 16x7.5 to 16x9 in offsets +15 to +25 for that nice euro look.

    If no one has anything, will just have to bite the bullet and order from the States

    Cheers
    Mark

      Think the 9's might be a squeeze. Any reason you don't want 17's?

          I think the Polo looks just right on 16's with a nice drop.. Plus won't have to get new tyres

                I got some 16" RS. I have contact details of someone who can modify them to fit your polo.

                  who said anything about legal? All he asked is if they fit!

                      I have some 16inch BBS rs that are currently 5x114.3 but can be filled and drilled to 5x100.

                      They require refurbishment, they are far from mint but offset and width is great for polo.

                      16x7.5 and 16x8
                      +25 to +30 I believe.
