New wheels...

[mozzzy_2000]

5 Zigen Heisfeld 's have it . those other rims look like they belong on a torana (no offence to torana drivers).

i searched through the gti manual last night in desperate hope trying to find the offset for a 2008 polo. i also can remember reading something (think it was on this forum actually) about differant offsets for differant year models.

Yeah I gotta say I really like the multispoke over the 5 spoke. I think that particular multispoke looks pretty classy and very European. The 5 spoke for me looks a little too generic.

As to offsets this may have been posted before but I found this very handy calculater.

i'll most probably use my current tyres, they should stretch quite nicely - 205/40 R17's.

Oh really, I thought of you as a practical performace man not a show pony

Hey Rhys man,

Those multi-spoke ones, is the center of those frosted, and the lip polished?

If so, just be a little careful- they look good standalone, but i saw some just like that on a silver mitsu mirage, and it just didnt seem to work. and i was thinking of getting those same wheels (that the mitsu had) for my pog. it put me right off.

the 5 spokes, however, would loook sweet.

just my 2 c.

cheers

i've got perfectly good tyres that i'm really happy with so i'd rather use them than spend over $900 on a new set.

yeah the centre is just clear coated alloy and the outside is polished metal. i have written off the multi-spokes.... they remind me of BBS and i want to be different. i'm not a BBS sheep! did you see the Impul's a couple of pages ago Scott, check them out and tell me what you think.

I've just asked both places about the centre bore on the 5ZR's and the Impuls. Hopefully it will be 57.1 and not 56 (Subaru). How much would it cost to get the centre bore machined out to a larger fitting??

I paid $30 a wheel for mine, so not alot really!

thanks Lorenz, and at what sort of place do you get it done? (sorry if that's a stupid question )

[VWindahouse]

There is a place on the southside of Brisbane called Wheel Revolution that I think does it! Not sure about the Goldy sorry Rys

I just found a couple of places down here that do it, incase the bore is too small (i imagine it will be). Now just to hear back from the wheel company to make sure they still have the Impuls in stock and then i'll be buying them . I think i'll leave the centres of them silver for now but somewhere down the track paint them matte black or gunmetal. They are 2 piece so i'll be able to pull them apart and prep them up nicely before putting them on.

The other thing to be aware of is that it isn't bored out too much for your VW centre caps to fit as the standard ones no longer will.

it only increases the centre bore, it doesn't affect how the Impul centre caps fit in (they don't clip onto the bore hole or anything). they are quite large caps, if you look back at the pic of the wheels and close to the centre you see small holes, thats all part of the centre cap.... it's one big piece that clips in. also, i already have aftermarket wheels, so i don't have VW caps. i wouldn't put them on these wheels anyway.

To me it looks like the caps went over the hub hole (as with alot of wheels)
