  • never ever been lucky with tyres

    okay so South African roads are absolutely like the dogs rear end - so ive hit a pothole again and as luck would have it damaged one of my rims as well as a tyre. Following on with my spate of fortune (not good in any way) the rim i have on my car is no longer available in 5 stud 100pcd

    so this is what my old rims looked like



    so ive replaced them with these



    heres what they look like fitted onto the car



    the car seems to be riding a bit highish and i will take some better pics as it settles to a more normal ride height

    ive also purchased two tyres so that i dont use a mixture of old and new tyres in the front

    Hey those rims look pretty good on your car. Might be better than the old set you had earlier. Enjoy.

      they still arent exactly what i was after - i really really wanted a set of the Audi Phat 5 TT replica's - those look awesome on a polo



      couldnt get stock of these so im gutted cos now ive had to spend in a direction that i didnt want to

      but i agree that the ones that i have now are probably better looking than the ones ive removed even though those did look better in real life than the photo conveys
