Would like to find out if anybody know if the new Golf Gti rims (18") will fit the Polo....I am looking at getting a set....please assist.

the replica is 5x100

that will fit perfect

Hi there

Yep, you will nedd to get teh replica's which have the correct PCD - 5x100 as the originals have a PCD of 5x112.

Cheers
Nic

Thanks for the reply's ,but I am not all that clued up on Wheels, What is the PCD on the wheel. These replica's that you guys talk about...? where do you get these..? Please help.

PCD is the spacing of the Wheel bolts. 5x112 is spaced slightly wider than 5X100.

The Polo is 5x100 the golf is 5x112


Those replicas are available at autostyle...i think something like 4500 a set....cant rememebr if that was for 17's or 18s....I'd recommend 17;s for a polo tho. 18's look too big in my opinion.

Cheers Mate...!! Do you realy think the 18" would be to big..? **** they look nice....!
Thanks again for the info on the spacing...Learn something everyday..!!

Look 18's is a personal taste thing. I just think 18's without a decent drop in suspension makes the car look like a 4X4 with bicycle wheels.

But if u do drop it then the 18's cause rubbing problems.

I had 17's Santa Monica rims on mine and 17's (for me anyway) fit the polo better.

17's:

Cool...

If u wan2 see a polo wit 18 gti rims, pls search da for sale section n check for a ad by me, i advertised his set for a buddy of mines...

Thanks Mate...will do...I suppose they are still std..?

Sorry boet. I am looking for gti rims and then would have to have them re-drilled to fit a Polo Tdi. I lost you there for a min. I would deff. look into that add....Thanks mate.

He had da replicas which come as 5x100

I seem to remember one of the users on this forum (Mo I think) having some real headaches with the 18 inch Gti replicas on his Tdi Polo as they were forever catching on the wheel arches etc. 17 " s are far more affordable and practical for the Polo. Just my 2cents

it will look like this

Are these 18's ? They look a bit oversized !! Sh*t.....I just changed my mind....I think I'm going the 17's route

Eh....what tyres are more expensive ? 18's or 17's ? Everyone says 16's cost the most ?

i wouldnt say 16" cost more but they are hard to find. not sure about SA but in nam they're a b!tch to get hold off. IIRC the 16" and 17" cost almost the same.

I'd rather go with 17's bru! 18's gave me endless problems with the drop!
