    Are these replicas?

    I like the Porsche wheels on the left. Are they replicas? Has anyone seen replicas with the Polo fitment?

    I agree, they look awesome! Although so do the ones on the right - are they an Audi rim? And 17 instead of 16 on left?

    Haven't seen those porche ones as replicas, the only ones I've seen are here - http://www.ozzytyres.com.au/Content_...ty-Porsche.seo nowhere near as good!

    SO need to get my Polo lowered after seeing that shot, even with stock wheels!!

    looks like 18's on the right and 17's on the left... never know, they could be genuine since porsches have high offsets (allowing for adaptors) and the turbo twists came in 17" i think.

    i love how low those car sit, but i don't think they're GTIs. they don't have the GTI rear spoiler. but they do have the side skirts. and why not get the GTI and soup that up if you're gonna spend so much $ on wheels?

    bubu, did you find this pic online or did you take it? that looks like an Acura dealership logo in the background. do they have Polos in North America??? this photo is spinning me out! it's like "what's wrong with this picture?".

    In some countries its expensive to insure certain types of cars so you will find a lot of younger drivers doing up cars with smaller engines.

    according to wikipedia they have acura in usa canada and hong kong.

    But they don't get the Polo in the US ... not sure about Canada.

    exactly - i didn't think they sold Polos in Canada or the US. hmm, maybe in Hong Kong, then.

    good point about the engine sizes, by the way.

    Actually ... looking at that 'Acura' sign ... looks more like a Mercedes sign to me.

    I woulkd say they are real, a common wheel choice on Euro 9N Polos and the 2 polos at the top i balive are not 9N3s but older models with new rear tail lights.
    The guys just use stud bolt adapters to fit thye weels.
    Some more pics.
