Seeing as the car in the original post isn't a GTI (it's yellow) then its possible the owner bought some wheels off the old model GTI which had 16's

IMO the best wheels for Polo 6r are the original VW Santa Monica, originally installed on Golf 4 GTI...
You can find them 17" (original) or 16" (not original)...
I found this pic on the web, a second hand set (4 wheels 17") in good conditions can be bought here in Italy for about 250€:

Those are known as "Bora Sport" wheels here, amazing wheels and good luck getting them anywhere near that cost in australia, they are probably the most sort after VW wheel they ever brought to australia, I know, i tried getting them for my Mk4 Golf!

I found those wheels for my GTI for 180€ and I'm using them for winter tyres, but they were aesthetically ruined, so I had to paint them...
It's a sin, because the original diamond finish is really great...!
Furthermore ET38 is better than the GTI's original ET46

If its brand new the price rawks. I checked the price on original disks and the price is a bit depressing. Somewhat $600 / per disk for 17 inchers gti.
I found this babes. Prolly gonna get it.
Anyone can compare weight 16 vs 16? Not sure where to check it.
I am cheap i guess xD
here they are
Those are some of the heaviest alloy wheels in existence. The 17's have the flat machined face with sharp edges while the 16's have the curved edges and painted surface.
Why?Furthermore ET38 is better than the GTI's original ET46
