Good site to buy new rims?

[VWplo]

simple question

ive been browsing around the intramanet looking for new shoes so i thought i might as well ask.
anyone wanna share a good site to buy rims with a good price, looking at spending around $1000
i really want more offset

thanks guys

[team_v]

at that price, check the for sale section of the forum, ebay or tempe tyres.

[ATYPIC]

I think you mean less offset...in order to give more poke.

[VWplo]

Cool ill check it out, yeh that's what I ment

[Nuggos]

german ebay too, some times there are absolute steals there

I hate plugging companies that are based overseas, but if it helps, I got mine from tirerack $850 delivered...wheels only. Sparco's 17X7.5 ET35....just about the right poke for my car. Just beware that these didn't come with wheel bolts or hub rings...that's extra.

Amg Australia can get some nice wheels in (bbs/oz). Been drooling over the Oz Superturizmo LM's for a while now!

One day my precious, one day...

I purchased some rims for my S3 from this crowd

VAG 5x100, BM Autosport Ltd

I did a lot of research beforehand on the UK forums and BMAutosport got the thumbs up for quality (and pricing).

I was very very happy with them when I got them

the link i've given you are the 5x100s which I think you need?

Alloy Wheels - AlloyWheels.COM | Buy Alloy Wheels

Similar to tirerack but in the uk and will export wheels tirerack won't. Delivery was 7 days from placing the order.

Anyone use these guys? Good selection and price seems right
Wheel Warehouse - TSW Wheels: Tremblant (Gloss Black with Mirror Cut Lip)

Also I'm thinking of getting those TSW's.
mirror lip or black lip?

[LunchboxVRS]

I'm not a fan of them more suited to a mk4 golf. but if you want them I would suggest having all black A-posed to chrome lip.
Would like to see how these looked on a polo if you want TSW

TSW Wheels: Nurbugring (Matte Gunmetal)
Or these
TSW Wheels: Mallory 5 (Matte Black)

Dip dish doesn't suit 6r polos unless the spokes start flush and curl to the back with a small dish like ATYPIC,s rays wheels

sooo many wheels too look at.... good job I know exactly what I want.

I have just purchased (deposit) a New 2013 - 5 Door Polo GTI today.

Anyone, have a clue what the Offset is on the standard 17 x 7 Detroit Wheels?
Also what is the standard weight of that wheel?

The PCD is 5x100... correct.

Then at least I know what I can look at... just want a lighter wheel in standard size.

What fits on yours??

Cheers eveyone for any help you can offer.

Will be looking at other stuff too soon... gonna love the Pocket Rocket!

[VWplo]

Yeh it's hard to picture what they will actually look like on the car. Got any examples of dish on 6rs?

I like the look of those mallory 5s

ET is 46 5x100

Detroit with tyre is around 20kg.

The oz racing wheels I just purchased are about 14kg with tyre.

[steveyoshi]

cool... thanks Lunch box.

So ET 46 = +mm offset, sorry got to get my head around this again.

Haven't bought wheels for about 15 years.

What OZ wheel did you buy? I have a couple in mind that should fit, just got to find them now.
