UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I like the fact that the polo Gti is not as popular makes it more special i think lol

I used to have a Fiesta ST and now theres load of those about, and very common !!!!

i know wat you mean only 3 polo gti in my area! ST are slow too wen my polo was stock it kept up with my mates Fiesta ST that had cams in etc and a remap at puma speed! Now its mapped he is dust LOL!!!

still a quick turn around i thought

did you get any other recommendations about Pristine? word is they're one of the best around.

what's the weight of a GTI alloy? just that if you are looking for light weight I'm not sure they're the best around - however if you already have a set then I can see the logic! (and they look good).

great to see there's still the age-old "why bother" comments floating around. life's boring without change!

david, i have not weighed a gti wheel, so i honestly cant say, but in lifting the 2 there is a very immediate noticable difference in mass

and yeah, all but a few have said pristine too, i had already seen their work, but you cant beat gaining a fairer picture

tomorrow ill be setting off on a 300 mile rount trip to take them to pristine in milton keynes and chat to the guys about what i want, ill then leave them there, and go for them on my next day off, which will be wednesday

so lots of driving tomorrow haha

just weighed one of my TT wheels:

17.6kg with almost worn tyres

ill weigh a monza tomorrow with a brand new tyre on before the journey
