    I'm not a fan of them more suited to a mk4 golf. but if you want them I would suggest having all black A-posed to chrome lip.
    Would like to see how these looked on a polo if you want TSW

    TSW Wheels: Nurbugring (Matte Gunmetal)
    Or these
    TSW Wheels: Mallory 5 (Matte Black)

    Dip dish doesn't suit 6r polos unless the spokes start flush and curl to the back with a small dish like ATYPIC,s rays wheels

    sooo many wheels too look at.... good job I know exactly what I want.

    I have just purchased (deposit) a New 2013 - 5 Door Polo GTI today.

    Anyone, have a clue what the Offset is on the standard 17 x 7 Detroit Wheels?
    Also what is the standard weight of that wheel?

    The PCD is 5x100... correct.

    Then at least I know what I can look at... just want a lighter wheel in standard size.

    What fits on yours??

    Cheers eveyone for any help you can offer.

    Will be looking at other stuff too soon... gonna love the Pocket Rocket!

    ET is 46 5x100

    Detroit with tyre is around 20kg.

    The oz racing wheels I just purchased are about 14kg with tyre.

    cool... thanks Lunch box.

    So ET 46 = +mm offset, sorry got to get my head around this again.

    Haven't bought wheels for about 15 years.

    What OZ wheel did you buy? I have a couple in mind that should fit, just got to find them now.
