I know a geezer who owns a wheel refurb company "WheelSmart"
He has some 17" 4 Stud, I think there Wolfrace
35 profile tyres...
Wondering iff they will fit, Me pal come round with 1, and we tried it on, did full lock both ways and didnt catch ne thing, but that might not be the case with other problems? Help lads?
Cheers!

nice example there mate! i take it you are pretty young are you?? cos i had the 1.0litre when i passed my test. great car, but i sold iv got the 1.4 now. still slow as fook lol. i think you should deck it 50-60mm on some 16's or so. would look very nice and simple. you dont want to splash too much on your first car.
heres mines on 16's buyt only lowered about 40mm. its smoothed all round like but just try and imagine it with the black bumpstrips.
black wheels would look nice on yours and keep the black strips to break things up.

Yeh, 17...Insurance is a t**t.
Didnt fancy a corsa or owt toss like that so just got a polo, av allways been into VW's...
You rekon keep the black strips eh...uhmm al have a go...
Am just gunna find some nice wheels for it 16's pref. iff these 17's look toss, probs tint the rear windows slightly and like ya said lower it.
Yeh there not quick like r they but decent quality car.
Cheers for the advice pal

rolldeepolo - that is probably the only polo on 17's that i have really really liked. fu*kin good job mate!!! the door handles are sexy!!! how much did it cost you to do that?? very smooth! it looks low aswell. that must catch like a bastard that low on the size wheels?

i dont think its real lol he had the wheels on but then i think he photoshopped it low and smoothed the handles
