Yeah I had the same rims on my old Golf mk 3. I still love the RS4's today. :)

I have just put som BBS RX 214's on my Polo... Looks really good too :)

I just have 195/45-16's on them. (came with the wheels) so I was thinking of putting som 195/40-16's on like you have. There is close to an inch i diameter difference... Cause mine sometimes rub a little when I turn at speed.

Looks good but looking at the low offset, I think you'll get rubbage at the back - you can tell from the picture of the wheel in the rear arch..

I was thinking of the cades eros, but I was told that they corrode quite badly. So now looking at other alternatives.
