i searched through the gti manual last night in desperate hope trying to find the offset for a 2008 polo. i also can remember reading something (think it was on this forum actually) about differant offsets for differant year models.

Yeah I gotta say I really like the multispoke over the 5 spoke. I think that particular multispoke looks pretty classy and very European. The 5 spoke for me looks a little too generic.

As to offsets this may have been posted before but I found this very handy calculater.

Hey Rhys man,

Those multi-spoke ones, is the center of those frosted, and the lip polished?

If so, just be a little careful- they look good standalone, but i saw some just like that on a silver mitsu mirage, and it just didnt seem to work. and i was thinking of getting those same wheels (that the mitsu had) for my pog. it put me right off.

the 5 spokes, however, would loook sweet.

just my 2 c.

cheers

i've got perfectly good tyres that i'm really happy with so i'd rather use them than spend over $900 on a new set.

yeah the centre is just clear coated alloy and the outside is polished metal. i have written off the multi-spokes.... they remind me of BBS and i want to be different. i'm not a BBS sheep! did you see the Impul's a couple of pages ago Scott, check them out and tell me what you think.

I've just asked both places about the centre bore on the 5ZR's and the Impuls. Hopefully it will be 57.1 and not 56 (Subaru). How much would it cost to get the centre bore machined out to a larger fitting??
