After some searching I belive I may have found a part number...

17in polo Detroit - 6R0 601 025 S FZZ

Let me know if your contact can work some magic !

[pologti18t]

found this:

17in polo Detroit - 6r0 601 025 s fzz - £313.12 plus vat each. Dealer profit margin is low would expect max discount of 15%

and this:

Detal?s nr. 6R0 601 025 S FZZ - 6R0601025SFZZ - VW-AUDI - UAB "Autralita"

They look to be very expensive

Why get them from NZ?

The guy I spoke to said that every VW parts dealer in the country should be able to source 17" Detroits... They were right on his system...

Apparently 17" Detroits are in their system.

i saw a white polo GTI in the city yesterday parked with detroits. Not sure of size - must be 17s based on the discussion here. Took a photo - not sure how to post it up?

You need photbucket or something similar.

They could be knock-offs, home-made or special imports.

17" Detroits (Painted)

So I bit the bullet and opted to have my denver rims painted to match the 18" detroits, and I'm quite happy with how they've turned out!

Admittedly was expensive $160+ gst per rim, but cheaper than buying new ones/importing them.

Alliance Rim Repairs in Malaga, WA did the job and very satisfied customer here!




Sorry bout the quality, was an afterthought

Boeta - Nice job mate!

Your car looks great

[JaneAusten]

Mate that looks amazing. Thank you. My life is complete.

Hey Boeta, did they only painted the inserts?

[FASTCRAIG]

my13 model change 17 inch detroits replace denvers

Hey Boeta, did they only painted the inserts?

Sorry for the late reply bud, overseas at the moment. The whole rim was painted including the whole face I believe.

But very happy with the job, I can recommend Alliance Rim repair for sure!

I went to Alliance Rim Repair on Saturday and Mark showed me one that he's working on (machine + painting black). Looks really great and he quoted me for $220 per rim including gst. When did you get yours done?
