Sorry, I know I'm painful but wanna get it right

[Chipped]

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.

Liam I got a price next dat about 1300USD incl freight to Perth but Excl tyres (I'll get that done here to save $$ on freight). Great price but once again, I don't want them to be an incorrect fit and have to mess around with returns etc...These'd look magic on a Black GTI

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.

Hey Polo,

That Pic of ur white polo looks mad!! (not to mention the rest)
Are the 16" wheels with the car lowered?
My dream is same standard POLO GTi wheels bit in 17"...like the Golf GTi but the stud pattern is different. Hence next best is the Oz supers....cheers

You'd better hurry before the Oz dollar sinks much more against the USD.

also, a word of warning

a couple guys i know have copped duties/gst on orders coming in from tirerack

take it into account when budgeting, i know the last guy i know didnt really expect a $400 bill from fedex

Anyone interested in a group buy of wheels + tyres?

It we have enough order to fit a container, it will be cheap...

Any size, any brand of wheels and tyres are welcome!

The import duties for a bulk order won't be cheap.

SOMEONE BUY THESE FOR A POLO IT WILL INSTANTLY MAKE IT THE HOTTST POLO IN AUS!!!

5x100, offset might be a bit high so may have to run small spacers, also the centrebore might need 1-2mm machining (easy job for any machinist)

What is the obsession with all the wheels that look like this? They're way too common and don't even look any good.

part of it is personal preference but they're also a very good design from an engineering perspective. generally the wheel has to take a larger bending force closer to the centre, so wheels that have thick spokes (width and depth) near the centre and then taper outwards are the best designs.

I c. Is there a reason why racing wheels tend to have very thin spokes?
