I bought them from Alloy Wheels - Performance Alloys.com® - The Alloy Wheel Experts. It took ages but that's partly because I ordered them between Christmas and New Yearso Team Dynamics had shut down production. Then they made a set but weren't happy with 2 of the wheels...
But they'll be on for Sandown next month!
A first for me to do something that sexes up the PoD!

Only ordered mine last night. For the price I paid, I'm happy to find out. $170 each, free delivery. I'll find out how they are when I get them put on!
Cheap, Fast, Reliable. Choose two.

I went on a cruise the day after i had them fitted and i must say, we were both very impressed with how they felt and handled. I feel a hell of a lot safer in the wet weather with them too..
Great price you got them for too!

Next car will have just as good tyres and who knows how long itll take to sell the polo, not sure he what interest it will create.. Coupled with the fact that i need to find something suitable within my price range to replace it with.. Headaches!

Do you mind if I ask why you're parting with such an exceptional polo Lora???

Saving for property. As much as i love it and wish i could keep it but i want a 5 door car. Easier to buy that car now and keep for years then attempting to buy a decent car with a hefty mortgage in a few yrs time. It might put my savings back 6 months but in the long run its logical. To me it is lol

nice, greg!!!Hope this is enough to keep me from been banned 'cos it's all i've got
i'd love a set, in ''race black'' - they just look so damn good.
as for what i did to the car over the last couple of days....
sunday: took a drive up the hume to try to bed in the friction material in my clutch, ended up at winton and watched a good few hours of drifting. the extreme entry competition (who can enter the corner at the end of the straight in the most extreme fashion) was pretty nuts! lots of offs there - cant be helped when they're trying to get as close to backwards as possible before the corner.
i've gotta say, it was pretty entertaining, but i guess it goes without saying that it's a form of sport unto itself - through the last two corners before the straight (old winton was being used), the cars definitely looked slower going around the corners than say, adzy in his mk5 gti last track day i was there with the boys. dont get me wrong, the cars were sideways, spewing smoke, but not as fast.
monday: set my rear suspension to maximum softness, which involved basically disassembling the rear suspension. lots of swearing done.
tuesday: after much bouncing around on the roads, realised that i'd actually messed it up, and that the adjustment mechanisms from front to back with koni actually operate in reverse - counter clockwise to stiffen the front, but clockwise to stiffen the rear. all apart again, more swearing because i'd taken things for grantedback is sorted now, and so much more comfy!

Nice one guys, I'm sure you will continue the outstanding VAG modded pedigree we've seen from both of you in the past
