Another new member and Polo gti owner

[gti2]

Hi all

Just recently found the site and I have enjoyed reading threads on the new Polo gti. I picked up my new gti on Saturday, having only test driven one several weeks ago. A very impressive little machine for the money with a lot of potential for upgrades.

I've attached a couple of pics.

Welcome gti2. good to have you here. Hope you enjoy the forum.
Good choice of car too cheers, Andrew

Welcome! And congratulations on the buy. Can't go wrong with this little pocket rocket.

I like those rims! Suits the GTI well. How much did those set you back if you dont mind me asking?

[MR-GTI]

Welcom aboard SON !!

So tell us a little about those wheels,do you have some better pix of them??

Regs MR-GTI

Thanks for the welcome guys. I am really happy with the car and am looking forward to getting the APR tuning in the not too distant future. Maybe after a few thousand kms running it in.

Sidgti, the rims and new tyres were nearly $3k, I think it was about $440/rim and tyres nearly $300 each, less the trade-in of the standard rims and tyres.

Cheers guys.

The wheels are optional VW, in the Polo gti brochure. Their name is 'Siata'.

I've attached another photo. It's the best I have at the moment. Will try and get a closer shot soon.

welcome to th site dude nice choice in vehicle so well balanced very responsive on the other hand i dont like the wheels sorry my opinion i like the original gti bbs wheels better more agressive

[gti2]

Everyone's entitled to their opinion william. That's what makes forums so interesting.

MR-GTI, I managed to crop a picture to give a more detailed look at the wheel. Hope it comes out ok.

[william]

do you have the originals do you want to sell the originals?

[gti2]

Sorry, can't help william. Left them with the dealer.......for a price!

[william]

i hope u got more than 500 a wheel as we sell them for 500 a rim without rubber we have cutomers on the phone crying saying my hubby is goin to kill me bc i scratched his rims i would cry too at 500 each tyre alone are 400 as low profile and continental

[gti2]

It was a part of the overall deal i negotiated, which I was really happy with william. The 'bottom line' purchase price, including the new wheels and the other options asked for, was a signifcant saving overall.

There's nothing worse than a kerbed rim, is there?
