No it's a passive system on the polo.
Will just need to reset the tpms when you change wheels.

To clear the brakes? Why?
Are the wheels you want wider so no need for the spacers?
Any particular ones, brand to look at getting? I've had a quick look on eBay, but choice is vast on there and if I were too buy some sets I'd like decent ones.

The ones I have are h&r but they were second hand but had a good deal as it included bolts and locking bolts.
These brakes
