Im searching around for things to do to the polo once it comes and have seen a few wheels that look nice. Im not a lover of black wheels.

As you said your not a lover of black wheels. I think these would look tidy on a Polo.

But what makes a bad looking alloy? Or is it not better to break out of the box? and try something differant.

They will look brilliant, but the car will need to be loooooooooow to pull them off.

At 8" wide you'd also need to ensure the offset was spot on.

I love Schmidt alloys though.

8" x 17" would look just right.

the OEM wheels are 17x7 at ET46, so I'd be looking at ET40. The inner arch/strut should just clear at that with an extra 6mm of poke on the outside to bring it that little bit nearer flush.

You need to be looking at ET35-38 for an 8 inch rim.

Just had an email back from rim style and they said they would sell these wheels with et32
