As most of you know I have a 9n Polo 1.4 TDI SE. I have found some VW alloys 16" (San Marino) 6.5x16" PCD 5-100 ET42.

As my car currently has 14" alloys and has an ET of 43, will the above wheels fit ok? There is only a slight difference...please let me asap cheers
:D 8) :D

id say theyll be ok but if your unsure then do a test fit and also the difference in et is 1 mm so id class them as the same

Wouldn't have thought they'd be a problem epecially as they are optional fit on the 9n.

On another note, if you've found some San Marinos then BUY THEM!! They are like Gold dust used and look sooo sweet :lol:

Any thoughts on that lowering kit yet, that'll make em look 10X better :wink:

well if I get these I wont be eating for the next month so the lowering kit will have to wait and it all depends on how it looks. Actually I have found two sets of the San Marino's (BBs RS2) ! Nt bad eh! :D 8) :D

Nice one Nelson! I though they were identical but nope they are different-they are infact the BBS RS2's not SM's but they should still fit -gonna ask VW tomorrow.

I think the RS2's are the bomb! Nicer than the SM's do you think so?

I prefer the simpler design of the SM's, but horses for courses! :lol:

There used to be a Polo on polo9n.com with RS2's lowered 100mil :shock: Looked amazing!!

This may not work...

Why...would this not work?

I liek the RS2's more as they look more agressive, although it is down to personal taste. :D
