opinions on changing the wheels on my polo please!!!

[kawabanga]

I found those wheels for my GTI for 180€ and I'm using them for winter tyres, but they were aesthetically ruined, so I had to paint them...
It's a sin, because the original diamond finish is really great...!

Furthermore ET38 is better than the GTI's original ET46

Where are your headlights from!!???

[gavs]

Those are the factory xenon headlights my friend, nothing special.

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

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

Those are some of the heaviest alloy wheels in existence. The 17's have the flat machined face with sharp edges while the 16's have the curved edges and painted surface.

Furthermore ET38 is better than the GTI's original ET46

Why?

[VWplo]

i would probably get 17" GTi rims and paint them black, does anyone know of a good place to get cheap rims, second hand is fine. if not ill probs just end up painting my current rims black. btw i think Denver/Monza look ****ty in black. just my opinion

You'll find a few on the For Sale section on these forums. A lot of polo GTI people sell off theirs on here, I think the usual price is $600?

I'll be selling mine off in a few months myself

That doesn't make sense, the GTI wheels ARE the Denver/Monza wheels and yes, I agree, they look a bit rubbish painted black, too much black surface area.

hazrd had a set of the 16" Denvers painted in an anthracite colour with his 9N3 GTi and it looks MUCH better than straight black IMO. I don't think black looks that good with dark blue (my matt black ProRace 1.2s look pretty poxy with my dark blue 9N IMO )

[VWplo]

so im buying some 17" Denver/Monza for my blue 77TSI and im thinking of painting them, any suggestions on colours. i was thinking like a really dark metalic silver or gun metel grey, somthing like that, having trouble picturing it in my head as to how it will look with the blue

[gavs]

On the shadow blue, if want darker wheels, I wouldn't go any darker than the Vw colour pepper grey metallic.

[JonW]

im 99% sure the 77tsi is a different blue to shadow blue as thats a gti only colour... so what blue do you have VWplo?

[JonW]

I would always go for grey with blue, Im not sure of the colour Gav is suggesting but FYI here is a shadow blue car with anthracite rims...
