i reckon the 13" bbs's look a bit small! personally i am going to go for 15" bbs's when i get a G40! they'll look da nuts!

yup, they aint mk1 wheels, as said the gap between the p's are too big. them be the same as mine off a mk2 golf.

I personally prefer the bbs. I'd be running bbs if someone had sold me some for the same money as the p's at the time...

I think 14" steels would look pretty right. Powder coated in a dark silver / charcoal metallic and I think they would suit the car nicely.

BBS.

Either in silver, or hochglanzverdichtet (think: blindingly bright chrome).

Pirelli P Slots look wicked, especially polished, but it'd be a shame if everyone started running them as they'd lose their individuality.

I reckon go for the steelies, I nearly did once, and I was gonna go for something a bit special which I've never seen on a Polo before.

Money is a b***h. :cry:
