Hi Mate,

i would look at 16" BBS RX11's as they are nice and OEM and tend to look a bit larger and arch filling.

I think the wheels here are the wheels from a new VW Golf (the 'GT') spec.

Then wheels are also present on the Jetta 2.0 TDI Sport...they are a 17" wheel, which i recommend should not be done on a Polo.

16" BBS RX or RXII's look the part and are of a similar design to that of the wheels you posted. RX's can be found easily in 4x100 stud pattern and should be much cheaper than RXII's. Also RXII's are a rare find in 16" with a 4x100 stud pattern as they were mainly used for Mk3 Golf Gti Anniversary and were a 5 stud pattern

If you don't want a deep dish: Schmidt TH Line 7.5x16 with 195/40.

They're the 15" versions man. The cults are even better, but they're only up to 14".

I know they're not really anything like those OEM Golf GT wheels you posted, but Flatcap Borbet As look the absolute nuts on a 6n2 IMO!!

EDIT: They're 16x7 usually but you cna get them wider!

EDIT AGAIN: Just noticed your "No deep dishes plz" comment! ARGH, Sorry!!
