Aftermarket 17" Boavista Wheels

[Hail22]

I'm in no hurry to part with my boavistas (in boxes as we speak) however if the right buyer comes by (Sydney Metro preferable for pickup) I have a set I'm willing to part with for the correct price (don't pm me with silly offers especially if you know what they are worth).

im in the same boat. ill be upgrading wheels soon, and would sell my boavistas for the right price. heaps of tread and not a single mark.

When I get some time I'll snap some photos and start a topic in the FS thread.

You must admit they're not easy to clean though. Them damn crevices!!

what is this "clean" of which you speak

All it takes is someone to mention them and they come out of the woodwork.... like I say, i paid $600 for my bare boa's but they were mint..... i think i got a good deal if i am honest, because as you say, they're not that common in the 2nd hand market.

Really nice looking wheel for OEM.

One thing i noticed though was given their extra weight, you do notice acceleration drop a little.

hi guys - does anyone know where I can get aftermarket 17" Boavista wheels for my Polo 6R?

I was going to get the sports pack, but there was nothing in stock and couldn't wait for one to be ordered.

I love the Boavista 5 spoke design and hopefully someone knows where I can get them from!

thanks!

thanks for your suggestions guys - good news tho, VW have found me a 77tsi polo that has the comfort and sports pack! no need for aftermarkets. pretty happy about that.

Hey guys,

Just a reminder mine are for sale (not in a rush to sell at bargain basement prices especially being so rare).

Sydney Metro Pickup only (Re-most people Pm'ing interstate wanting these wheels).

P.S Before I get Pm's from people in a rush for wheels, cash cowboys throwing low ball offers view this listing first as an example how cheap I'm selling mine compared to global sellers:

Rare factory wheels not reps

... and not that this had anything to do with boa's (well it sort of does), if you're getting a car and want to offload your brand new 15" lakesides cause you're changing to a wheel like the boa right off the bat (see... slightly related ), let me know because I will have them.
