    Question 17inch Replicas

    Im wondering if anyone knows if there is anywhere in Sydney or even Australia that I could find 17inch replica's of our GTi rims or even better 17inch Huffs.

    Ive searched high and low to no avail. Im able to get them from Ebay in the US for 399US but shipping will be between 800-1000US. Once I get some decent rubber for them im looking at around $2500AUS which is ridiculous.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hey mate,

    Can't get them in our PCD here. They are available from Seth Afrika but will cost to much in freight. Trust me I enquired about it

    Yeah I emailed a South African site re:shipping 2-3 weeks ago and they havent bothered replying!

    I cant believe even say Tempe Tyres (cringe) havent made replicas. There are no other wheels I want to put on my car except these which sucks.

    Ok cool Ill contact him. The only thing is generally when they pop up on EBay they are from Golf GTi's so therefore they will not fit our Polo's.

    Always worth seeing what tirerack.com has, too. They will ship to Australia and, provided you are careful about shipment size/value, can be quite good value

    You can get a set of 5x100 => 5x112 adaptors and fit the Golf wheels ...

    A set of adaptors will cost you about $500 landed from the USA.

    I've looked into it and may be buying some soon as I have a set of Audi S4 mags (5x112) that I'd like to fit to my car.

    Yeah but then that will blow out costs even more. If I cant find what I wand I may just get spacers/adaptors and fit them with the 16s to fill the arches abit better and look more aggressive.

    Yep, $500 is a lot for the adaptors, but you can pick Golf GTI wheels on ebay (with tyres) for under $1000. I've seen a set go for less than $800.

    All up makes it $1300 which is actually pretty good.
