    Then i will be more than happy as i don't want to share something they may turn out like the mutton bird (killed by too much hype)


    Edit:
    We do not buy these wheels from the manufacturer but from a UK importer, I would assume that the wheels would be from the far east somewhere like China or Taiwan. The wheel will weigh around 12-15 Kgs and come with an industry standard 12 Month warranty on the finish.

    Is this a good weight? also made in china/Taiwan without full facts of course...

    Damn! >.<
    Thats basically the same weight as the stock wheels. Not really any weight saving there...

          I have heard polos with 18 x 8's but not 8.5's. To me 8.5 inches wide to me seems too wide for the Polo, sure maybe a Golf MKVI or MKV again this is from a theoretical perspective as i haven't seen 18 x 8.5s on a polo.

              Looks like standard height like mine with the ABT rear diffuser, stripping the paint on my Boavistas to a gunmetal finish similar to those wheels

                  • It's because they used a lens/effect which is known as miniature but theres another name for it but I can't remember, my sisters got a camera with the effect it makes the photo look like the I-spy books

                        I don't think 8.5 inch wide wheels are legal on the GTI. Check with your states regs

                        • I ordered 17x8 Oz Superturismo GT's.

                          I think they will look good especially with the car lowered 25mm at the front and 40mm at the back.

                              Just a note: If you've chosen to purchase H&R springs, they've now changed the spring ratings to Front: 20mm Rear: 30-35mm.
