    I always liked these .. don't know if they come in the size though ... plenty of spokes to fill the gap !

    audi S3 or TT wheels look good on a polo (i have both).

    they're a thick looking rim with a low 32 offset so they add a lot visual weight to the polo's stance. they have excellent caliper clearance and you can paint them any colour you want.

    you can also find them for $600-800 2nd hand. slap on a new paint job and away you go.

    If only money was no object, I would have my OZ wheels and would probably have spent thousands more on the car !!!

    It is nice to dream though

    Kelvniii has the Superturismo on his Pog and they look great. Unfortunately they are alot heavier than stock where at the Allerggrita's I posted before will save about 7kgs of unsprung weight all round which makes a massive difference in the zoom zoom side of things

    Thanks Team_V your a legend!!!
    Most likely going to go with the exor rims as that way there souldn't be any fitment problems and looks factory.
    I asked about a set of Enkei Gtc-01 rims with Toyo proxes t1r tyres and I baulked at the price!!! $3600!!!
    I guess if money was no object, then I'd go for those rims but then again perfect fitment is still questionable.

    I rekon with the lowering that I'll be getting done this week with the wheels and colour coding of the skirts and front lower part of the front and rear bumpers as we speak should improve the overall look of the pogo. Should be a wolf in sheep's clothing. LOL

    A BIG THANKYOU to everyone who's contributed especially TEAM_V with the awesome photoshopping. I couldn't have made the decision this confidently without his help.

    All I have to do now is present my case to the boss of the household in a convincing manner as the factory Exor wheels aren't exactly spare change (as I'm the one wearing the skirt in the relationship) HE HE HE. Fingers Crossed.

    I think the thin spokes on 18's will make the rear disc brakes look silly...

    Fatter spokes (like A3 /S3 style) or lots of spokes (Lenso Type M style) IMO.

    Yay!!! Got approval from the boss (wifey). So I'll be off to the dealer to order in a set. Now for the choice of tyre. hmm have no clue but so far other whom I've spoken to recommend the Toyo Proxes T1R tyres. Any suggestions? Need something with a good balance of good tread life and handling/stickiness.
