[mishhy]

currently have the 16" polo GTI wheels on my car and would really like to get something bigger and more sporty! what do you think of these Detroits 18", i just cant decide if it would go well with yellow, opinions please!

[Lieto]

18 wont go well with our roads for sure xD

[mishhy]

Sorry man, i can see that picture xD I mean can you give me the exact name of the disks so i can google and buy it?

p.s. got savanna yellow as well — it rawks xD
originally wanted black disks as well but i dunno, it looks ok from one angle and it looks awful from another.. so i want to go with silver for now.

If you want black 18s i d go with these babes from je design



btw did you lower your car already?

[mishhy]

yeah ive seen those wheels too I just cant decide. yeah its been lowered, but that photo was taken before i had it lowered, used eibach springs, would still like to go a tad lower at the back though =)

I must say, I'm really not a fan of the black Denvers, it's too much black with nothing to break up the colour. I would suggest getting proper Detroit knock-offs, the pictures you have are the Denver/Monza type wheel. Detroits are black, then have the outer face machined, then clear-coated.

I would go down a different road, black BBS with poloshed rims and window tint

[Bflat]

These can be any colour you want...

Those looking for 16' wheels for their polos here you go!

If its brand new the price rawks. I checked the price on original disks and the price is a bit depressing. Somewhat $600 / per disk for 17 inchers gti.

I found this babes. Prolly gonna get it.
Anyone can compare weight 16 vs 16? Not sure where to check it.
I am cheap i guess xD

here they are

[MJKooLio]

Are you sure they're 16" I swear mine are 17"! Will have to check in the morning!

Seeing as the car in the original post isn't a GTI (it's yellow) then its possible the owner bought some wheels off the old model GTI which had 16's

IMO the best wheels for Polo 6r are the original VW Santa Monica, originally installed on Golf 4 GTI...

You can find them 17" (original) or 16" (not original)...

I found this pic on the web, a second hand set (4 wheels 17") in good conditions can be bought here in Italy for about 250€:

Those are known as "Bora Sport" wheels here, amazing wheels and good luck getting them anywhere near that cost in australia, they are probably the most sort after VW wheel they ever brought to australia, I know, i tried getting them for my Mk4 Golf!
