Get 17x7 imo
These Ozwheels should look killer on my White POLO Gti, but need dubbers opinion if they fit, 5x100 yes, 17 x 7.5 yes, 48mm offset I believe so, X-factor/brake caliper clearance....I hope so....any opinions?
Dubbers thanks so much in advance...I'd be lost without you guys.

Get 17x7 imo
Caliper clearance will be easily fine as they are an inch bigger to start with and they are racing rims.
Not sure on the offset question though.
Otherwise.. they are sexy rims. I want them.

The offset sounds a bit too high - more like a WRX offset to me... You may run into trouble with the inside of the rim scrubbing on the struts/springs
Using the offseet calculator (http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp) on the 1010tires website, going from a stock 6.5" GTI wheel to the 7.5" wheels in you link, you would have 19mm Less sturt clearance... and there isn't a whole lot to begin with so you should check this before going ahead!!!
To fit a Polo I believe the ideal offset is anywhere from a +38 to a +42 (which is common form most FWD hatches)

That site is unbelievably painful. Why can't you choose from sizes/offsets. You have to find a vehicle the wheel you want suits (cos they don't sell the Polo in the US)

Have a look at this link for specific wheels for the Polo GTI

totally useless remark but I was think ozwheels for my black GTI too
I have been speaking to a fella named rudy from tirerack.com about the superturismos via email for a week and a bit and its been a pain geting an all up price out of him(i had to tell them it was for a mk4) so i am hopping they fit aswell.
Using a 17X7.5 you would need about a 32-38 offsett i would think.
My TT wheels are 17x7.5 ET32 and they are perfect running 205/40/17.
Oz wheels are the ducks nuts i can understand why you want to get this right.
