but i dunno what the offset etc is for my car.
also what other manufacturers wheels will fit my car?
i'm a bit clueless when it comes to centre bore, fitment, et, etc......

Bore = hole in center of wheel where sits on hub
PCD = number of holes for bolts (5) and the diameter between the bolts (100)
Offset = distance between the center line and hub mounting surface - keep within the range to prevent rubbing on wheel arch/shocks/brakes
many manufacturers will fit your car as long as you follow the bold writing above
All this information is based on my own research so if any is incorrect feel free to correct me but i'm pretty sure this is right (i just bought my first set of alloys and all went well)
its always best to consult a professional before purchasing if you have any queries!

They turn up on ebay quite often. Think they were called 'Portland' but nobody really lists them as that lol. Just look for Polo alloy wheels and sift through the dross. Happy hunting!john.p.clegg wrote:Hate to seem predatory here but what will you be doing with your old ones,I could do with a spare 1.4 7 spoke....
