the white one is a beast! Just dont like the colour of the alloys but it looks mint lowered on 18s . i like that front grille he has got it matches the lower grilles and makes the front end look beefy as. Thanks for your help, so 40mm offset and 7 inch wide wheels should be ok and multispoke wheels really suit the polo!!! anymore advise off anyone regarding rubbing or other problems??
