+1 for the Boavista wheels as they look just superb, better than any of the aftermarket alloys IMO :D

Boavistas are lovely oem wheels but for the price they go for, there's plenty other options available

I'm planning to migrate my Montreal II wheels I have on my Beetle into my Polo.
I've painted in a dark grey metallic. In the end it should be like this:

These are 16".

Lm's are a classic choice, can't go wrong there.

What about something from the audi range, seen a couple of polos on ttrs alloys and the look amazing. Or mercedes segin. Think a member on here may still have some for sale? His user name is phayth I think.
