Here's a couple of mine (although it's a MK5)

Take into consideration that GTi's are 15mm lower than the base models anyway

Are you sure?

Because VW Indianapolis wheels, as shown on the red Polo above, are 6Jx14.

What size are they tyres - i think you will find the sidewalls will have 14 on there somewhere

Rim size is measured in the well where the tyres sits!!

You don't need a new tape measure but you will have learnt something

Bstarschild I dont know whether its the ground you have parked on but your car looks quite high compaired to mine in the pic your posted up. Im on 195/45/15's also but it just looks lower thats all. I definately need to get it lowered soon tho.
