UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Fitted the steel wheels and winter tyres to the wife's GTI this afternoon. There is not much room between the front callipers and the rim even with the correct 40ET offset so beware of this with any other rim offset.

It's a 5dr we ordered.

Our GTI arrived at the dealers yesterday, unannounced.
Dealer emailed a short video showing us the car inside and out in all its protective wrapping. Going in on Friday for a look and collection on Monday.

Anyone thought of winter tyres for their Gti?
Really rate them and not only does it keep your summer alloys good you get the benefit of not having to replace the summer tyres so often. Think I be purchasing a set of tyres/wheels for the wifes Gti in the next couple of months.

Evo didn't half rip it to bits, iirc only the interior got pass marks. Strange really as everyone else had a positive review on it.
