Polo GTI - What's The Price Guide?

**noone** · 04-02-2010, 11:32 PM

Wheels are 5x100
7-8 width
35ish offset, the lower the better generally
Average tyre size in on factory wheel is 205-45-16, think as wide as 225 has been fitted with the right wheel/suspension combo.

Also, my wheels from my current car is 5 stud 17" 7.5 114.3 (I think). What is the Polo GTI's?

Cheers guys.

Yeah white would have been my first choice actually, I reckon VW's white colour is among the best white on the market.
I didn't have a choice in colour, but just so happens the silver looks good and stays relatively clean looking

C'mon Hulk, if you actually buy another one you might get a welcome. Otherwise we all know you're having a fish.

To the OP, you should be able to get a good nick second hand one for about 16K, maybe even with a bit of warranty.

To the best of my knowledge, the early ones had an extra resonator in the exhaust and the later ones don't have a keyhole on the boot handle. Also read somewhere the gearbox might have changed at some point (not sure on that one)

so not much at really.

Yeah, I think white really accentuates the front grill (red lining). I think black wheels would look really great to match the overall look.

Hmm, yeah I read about this gear box change on the forums while researching. Something about a H pattern or something. Would someone like to elighten me or direct me to a relevant link.

Otherwise, in the meantime, I'll try find something by searching

sold my gti last year it had around 6000km red was ok very visible and not to dirty looking way better than black or blue. Red was what they had at the sales yard . Never had any dealer warranty work done 100% reliable .I would have got white if they had it but i could not wait .Im waiting to see what the new shape polo will be like .White will be on the wish list with dsg and 5 doors in gti spec.If they make it ill be making my order asap.
