Nice Polo dude.... personally there is a bit too much poke on the wheels however it does look sweet. Each to their own as they say.....
Can you tell me how you polished your lips on the standard BBS wheels, i'd like to try this myself without splitting the wheels.

Personally id split them iv done 3 sets of bbs wheels and you wont get it perfect unless you split them its not hard just a spline kit for £10 some wet and dry paper and metal polish

Cheers, i know it is a lot of poke but i love it and i didnt expect everyone to agree, i wouldn't advice polishing them without splitting them, but all i did was start with 240 grit wet and dry with some soapy water, sand them right down making sure you get off all the corroded bits then work your way up the grades to 2000 grit and i finished with some meguiars metal polish, you will end up with very sore fingers though from trying get the paper as far in the gap as possible, its not a bad finish but would be ten times easier if you split them

You will get it done
Phil was thinking less psi should cure the wobble better than more psi

Sorry dude your fitment is horrendous up front, these et0? You need your arches pulling out alot, surprised you haven't been pulled over yet mate. Pretty sure it's illegal to have the wheels out that much. Arch enemy is what is needed here mate.....

yeh i know its a lot of poke, i will be getting some archwork done so they fit better soon, technically they are legal cuz the tread pattern just about sits under the arch, i like the rears but i do agree that the fronts are a bit mental lol, and yeh the offset is 0, but i havent been pulled over yet, knowing my luck i'll get pulled on the way to edition.
They do stand out though

Its all legal the tread is under the arche at the top and the wheels do not protude out further than your wing mirrors. I think it sits fine if you flare the front arches you will regret it if you change wheels and your arches are stupid wide !
