Hi All Want to get a new set of alloys....bigger ones...but am a bit confused about the offset. I am going bigger on alloys and lower on the profile of the tyres so that the speedo is not compromised. I have the 9n standard alloys but want to go either 15inch or 16inch.

Polo_oli..........Thanks for taking the time mate.

They are for a 2002-2005 (and I think up to the new shape) Polo 1.4. Not too worried about the colour as I have new covers for them. Even if you could have a look for me that would be great.
