dont go for Lenso's. Every tom, dick and harry have them.

Buy some second hand Real split BBS rims if you want to go down that route. Plus the quality of the lenso's aint great to be fair.

Wheels all depend on your budget really though?? Ild personally save up and spend big on them as they really do make or break a car within the route you want to go down.

Well i work for VW so i may check them out as i would be able to get them slightly cheaper.Would they fit though?

The Website above is Good and rather quite-ish.

Save and get the real deal. They usually hold their value if looked after so can be sold on without taking a hit on them

100% agree with Luke & Jimmy, they hold their value & are much better quality than some wheels out there, If you look after them you can always get your money back when it comes to sell

i'm lowered on just fk springs from the highsport coilover kit (no adjusters) on the rear and tbh i was suprised how well they fitted in standard width. Im running 185/45 profile tyres and it only lightly scrubbed on full load. I've not done any arch work but have slightly cambered the wheels to be safe. IMO with 165 tyres they wouldn't have scrubbed at all.

what size/offset are polo wheels?
