Just got back from getting my wheels checked lol front ones are buckled from all the pot holes , luckily i have the original alloys which i got refurbed in the loft so im putting them back on , the aftermarket alloys will be going in the loft now till i can get two of them fixed ,
I think your better off sticking with the wheels you have on your car for now tbh aftermarket wheels aint that great , & you will pay through the nose for forged alloys , depending on what your roads are like where you live profile tyres arbt friendly they are just for looks in my opinion lol i might just go back up to 215/45/17s which whats came originally on the car from the showroom at vw , even the 45 isnt that good with the uk roads tbh . Its a costly business all round i think in the end .

Which aftermarket alloys did you have and what size were the alloys and tyres? The 6c polo GTI had 215/40 R17 tyres from the factory, not 215/45 R17’s - see below;2fast4ya wrote: Fri Apr 22, 2022 5:49 pm Just got back from getting my wheels checked lol front ones are buckled from all the pot holes , luckily i have the original alloys which i got refurbed in the loft so im putting them back on , the aftermarket alloys will be going in the loft now till i can get two of them fixed ,

Well blowed me your right!!
i just had a look at an old pic of one of my original wheels i couldav sworn they were 215/45/17s i really dont know why i thought they were 45s !?(strange).
That pic is the original alloy& tyre.
The aftermarket alloys i got from UK RIMS & are an exact replica of the original alloys ,17” & they came with 215/40/17 tyres , but the only real difference was the stud holes seem a tiny bit smaller than the original bolt holes as the stud caps wouldnt fit in to sit on the studs which was odd .

Well the roads in my area are in the process of all being refurbished but they are still in pretty poor shape. Yeah I just don’t want to fork out loads of money on something if it’s not going to last long. I’ll be honest it’s totally for looks that I want new ones as the current ones are just way too small. How long did you have your ones before they buckled?2fast4ya wrote: Fri Apr 22, 2022 5:49 pm Just got back from getting my wheels checked lol front ones are buckled from all the pot holes , luckily i have the original alloys which i got refurbed in the loft so im putting them back on , the aftermarket alloys will be going in the loft now till i can get two of them fixed ,

Ok great I’ll have a look at those. Audi wheels are interchangeable with vw ones right? Like they also fit well?amer6R wrote: Fri Apr 22, 2022 6:22 pm buy used audi pepper pot wheels
