Several options really;

1. Ditch the 205-40 tyres and get some 195-40 tyres if you want to keep the 17's. This should help somewhat...

2. Ditch the 17's altogether. Rock some 14" PLS Vitesses and drop it like there's no tomorrow.

3. Refer to [2.]

I'm seriously concidering some 14x8's with 195's... and some H&R or KW Coils of course!

The smaller the better!

Yeeeheee!

Speedy, a picture of a slammed 6N2 with tiny wheels please...

And a silver mk4 thrown in to boot. All are 14" *I think*.

Also; my favorite Mk5. Or at least, I feel silly inside when I see it.

13" wheels OWN you.

@Josh, You wanna get yourself some 14x8 RSL Cult Classics. Best looking 14er's you can get for a Polo IMHO. £170 a wheel though :( .

They'll look proper bo I tell thee !.

No not those ones Alex. Seen them before, not sure what they are, Steffan's ?.

Nice car that one, I love small wide wheels ! :lol: .

Josh it's these ones, not a very good quality pic but you get the idea.

I think they're both RSL, but in 4 or 5 spokes.

*wanders off to check


Edit:

Right, someone hit me over the head, because the 4-spoke wheels are of course Tramonts. Duh.
