i think theyre nice. i was thinkin gof these type of deep dish wheels for my car as i like the look of them think they suit the polo perfect. but i was thinking of just silver instead of that black and silver but to be honest im not to sure wat im gonna do yet.

Nice one, the Cups suit the MK5 really nicely, they looked great on my old Polo as well:

Would eventually like to have the silver lip colour coded to the car, but will see about that when i get the bodywork done in summer time

comments welcome

ah lovely mate, really suit the car. but you need spacers as much as i need coilovers!

adam_0612 · Post by **adam_0612** » Thu Jun 12, 2008 6:21 pm

yeah i know mate, tell me about it

where can i get some spacers from, and what size do you think?

also if i get spacers, will i need longer bolts???

Tim_GTi · Post by **Tim_GTi** » Thu Jun 12, 2008 6:27 pm

20mm on the back and 15mm on the front, or maybe 15mm and 10mm.

Venom motorsport do some at resonable prices

Oh yeh, and you may need larger bolts. It depends which ones you buy.

Hubcentric ones bolt to your hub then your wheels bolt to them. Floating ones require larger bolts that hold it all together.

Personally I'd lool for hubcentric ones, they're safer IMO.

In fact, here's some for sale

wheels look good Adam, nice streeeeeeettttch on the tyres too.

I'd say get some spacers and then wind the coilies down a bit more if possible to make use of the stretch!
