still on a quest for my wheel and i think i have found some, not gonna tell u what yet as i havent seen them on a polo to date and i wanna surprise you guys , but i have a lil dilema, as u can see the topic title is 13 inch wheels and the wheels i have found i can only get hold of in 13 in but pretty much as wide as i want which could look SIIICK lol .... but was wandering if 13 inch would be too small and if any1 has any pics of a polo sitting on 13 inches of wheel

... oh yer and can someone ( most likely tim or noz ..... genisis) remind me of the offsets i should be looking at i always forget

... thanx

Well if i'm right in thinking, those are banded steels and my steels are 13". Isn't it possible to get those mini style alloys in 13"?

Although those two 6Ns look awseome, I think they'd look better in 14s. IMo 13s are a little small.
What width are the wheels your looking at mate? ET is 35-45 advisable, but lower offsets look alot better

anything around the 20 mark gives a great stance.

dam!... the wheels i had lid up only go upto 8 unless i get a 3 piece version and then they or annoyingly expensive.... ill see what i can bust out .... also do u think it will look ok on 60mm all round for the moment?

Get 8s all round then!!
For a proper stance you'll wanna go alot lower than 60mm, if it's just temporary though then don't worry about it.
My car has been waiting to be lowered for like a year now lol

Sorry re-phrase that.
Du mean your current philJ kit bottoms out when it's on your 13" steelies?
