hi
i wonder if i but 17" alloys on polo 6n dose the power of the car decreas ?
and wut it the best alloys that i should us them
forgive me 4 my simple language. [/img][/quote]

go for 15" with 195/45/15 tyres, they are best for 6n

true
i put 16s on mine and it has made it a little bit slower

17's will kill your acceleration if its a small car. But i found they help with high speed cornering and helped the car feel much more planted.

I'd go for 16's as a compromise between style and practicallity

thanx guys i'll take ur advise and am going on 15" with 195/45/15 thats better

i suppose if u use 13"s, it will become a flying machine

in stitches now

13" is very small ! i wanna somthing gives the car a sport look since its 1.4i only

the car will handle better with 15s than 13s as well

I found going from the 13 steels to the 15s with 195/45/15 tyres made it slower not much but a little cant even think how bad it would be with 17s

but at least it sticks to the floor now and not much roll

woohoo

i didnt find 195/45/15 tyres i found only 195/50/15 would it fit good ?!

195/50/15, yes if u leave it at standard height

Just looking to get some rims.
Will 185/55R15 tyres be good?
Also the rims I want... they are ET45... would that fit ok with 185s and not stick out too much or rub against the inside?

the ideal size is 195/45/15 as it keeps your speedo right (as the rolling radius of 195/45/15 is very near to the factory wheels)

its worth the extra money, as it looks better, and wont cause problems with lowering later.
