Really not sure they have to be 17" to fit the Audi S3 brakes i have for it 312mm Rotors the brakes are a bit crap standered need a bit more bight. I want something gun metal grey or black but so u can see the red calipers.

It looks great Flaps. Black is such a good looking colour on the GTI, even tho it's a pain to keep clean. Where was the photo taken?

Cheers.

Hi all,

I am another new Polo Gti (black) owner. Got the car last month, the only thing I've changed is the alloy, 215/40 17". I've noticed the brakes is not as sensitive as before after I put on the rims. I have to press the brake harder to stop the car. Does anyone know why?

Cheers,

Michael
