Hello all and happy belated new year!

I have been looking for a new set of wheels (the 15's i have now just wont do) i was wondering if anyone on here has or knows of anyone with a set of Boavistas on sale?

I would much prefer to keep it oem but these Dotz mugello lake 30's have been tempting me too

Its a red polo, yeah they're not the freshest of wheels, not sure what would suit the polo to be honest.
Been considering a set of Lamborghini Gallardo replicas, The Angle of the wheels suit the cars overall shape i think.

Yes the Lamborghini wheels look great. My only concern is they look very similar to the wheels on a Focus ST and therefore I would not want my Polo to look like an ST rep :D

Those look good, similar to Lambo. Wheels are very personal things so go for what you feel is right for you. The only thing I would say is as you have a new car make sure you have wheels that match the age e.g no classic styles on new cars etc. I am happy with the Monza's at present and may get them refinished like the Monza shadows on the Golf.

Before I picked up my GTI I was worried that the 17" Monza's would look small as I have 18" on my Golf but TBH I think they are ok. However 18" on a Polo do look good. Hope you get sorted soon and would like to see some pictures when you do.

Yeah seen a 6R on wheel whores with some old merc wheels i think, wasn't too keen on it but kudos for being different.

I hope to get the wheels done for the summer/late spring once all the snow and general rubbish weather has cleared.

There's going low and then there is ridiculous has the suspension been removed and the car is sitting on the tyres :? Don't get me wrong I like a lowered car but this must have been lowered on coilovers just for this photo as you couldn't even turn the wheels or drive without breaking your spine and shattering all your teeth :lol:
