Recommended mag size for a polo 1.2 tsi trendline
Hi guys, I want to biy mag wheels for my car and I'm thinking about going for 17" rims. I like the new polo gti rims or the older one but I don't know if it a good idea to buy replica. As for the correct mag size/pcd I'm also not sure. Please help.

Re: Recommended mag size for a polo 1.2 tsi trendline
What is standard on your car? Take those details, find an online converted and go from there. PCD should be 5x100 and I prefer not going for fake wheels, or replica's as many are simply fake and of poor quality.

Re: Recommended mag size for a polo 1.2 tsi trendline
Larger rims require wider tyres.
Petrol consumption suffers.
Tyres become more expensive (in most cases)
I'd recommend looking at 17" only if your current vehicle has 16". One size up is the general rule of thumb.
Check the price for your current tyre size first, then compare it with the size you think will suit your pocket.
Take particular note of the offset (ET) of your current rim and avoid extreme variances.
Oh, and OEM rims can be quite expensive, unless buying used.
My R0.02 worth.

Re: Recommended mag size for a polo 1.2 tsi trendline
What style are you ultimately looking at? Are you in the long term going to go stance mode or do you want to stick to stock look with a nice rim for a daily driver?
If you are thinking of dropping the car in the back of your mind I would suggest going with 16s with a 40 sidewall and 195 up to a 215 max width.
These tsi have small spacings for wide rims.
If you aren't going to do the drop setup then I'd say go 17s with a 40 sidewall and a 215 or 225 width. That should look decent and it will be ideal for a daily.

Re: Recommended mag size for a polo 1.2 tsi trendline
OP, please don't do any of this until you have done a comparison to the stock, firstly to check clearances and secondly to ensure that you don't affect the rolling circumference of the wheel so much that it puts your speedometer, odometer and trip meter out.smitbrandon wrote:What style are you ultimately looking at?

Re: Recommended mag size for a polo 1.2 tsi trendline
They say with the mag size, you can go 1 or 2 size up and considering that a trendline, comfortline and a highline is basically the same car, with a highline coming out with 16/17", do you think putting 17" on a trendline will be a problem?Neuk wrote:OP, please don't do any of this until you have done a comparison to the stock, firstly to check clearances and secondly to ensure that you don't affect the rolling circumference of the wheel so much that it puts your speedometer, odometer and trip meter out.smitbrandon wrote:What style are you ultimately looking at?

Re: Recommended mag size for a polo 1.2 tsi trendline
I'm just looking for a nice vw mag/rim for everyday drive. I would have gone with a second hand 16" vw polo tsi rims but when I went to the tyre shop, they told me that 16" tyres are expensive.smitbrandon wrote:What style are you ultimately looking at?

Re: Recommended mag size for a polo 1.2 tsi trendline
Hi, thanks for your reply. Isn't a trendline and a comfortline/highline a same car? I'm asking because a comfortline comes with 16" and highline with 17".Supervan II wrote:Larger rims require wider tyres.

Re: Recommended mag size for a polo 1.2 tsi trendline
And the original is very very expensive. I went to vw the other day and asked how much is a set, I think I asked for 16/17" tsi rims. They said it's about R17 000 without tyres.Neuk wrote:What is standard on your car? Take those details, find an online converted and go from there.

Re: Recommended mag size for a polo 1.2 tsi trendline
There won't be a problem as long as you properly compare the new setup to the old setup to make sure you have no clearance issues and don't affect the rolling circumference too much. It may not be the best idea to go for heavy wheels though, with such a small engine.Teeh17 wrote:They say with the mag size, you can go 1 or 2 size up and considering that a trendline, comfortline and a highline is basically the same car, with a highline coming out with 16/17", do you think putting 17" on a trendline will be a problem?Neuk wrote:OP, please don't do any of this until you have done a comparison to the stock, firstly to check clearances and secondly to ensure that you don't affect the rolling circumference of the wheel so much that it puts your speedometer, odometer and trip meter out.smitbrandon wrote:What style are you ultimately looking at?

Re: Recommended mag size for a polo 1.2 tsi trendline
175/70 R14 to 215/45 R16 - 0% change in circumference so no change in speedometer, odometer or tripmeter.
175/70 R14 to 215/40 R17 - 0.8% change in circumference so small change in speedometer, odometer and tripmeter.

Re: Recommended mag size for a polo 1.2 tsi trendline
If they all have the same engine size then you already have the specs/examples to work with - if you are looking at the same rim, of course.Teeh17 wrote:Hi, thanks for your reply. Isn't a trendline and a comfortline/highline a same car? I'm asking because a comfortline comes with 16" and highline with 17".
Different rim usually means different specs, eg >< offset, so be aware.
