dening, nice motorsports. how much did you pay for them if you don't mind me asking? also, post up some specs here for others reference>> http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...ght-85362.html
now, recently have had some comments about the look my 77tsi (all good) and in particular, one about the "wrc" look i currently have going on with the white Aristo wheels. So i got to searching on the interwebs, trying to find out what wheels the Polo WRC car actually uses. All i could find was that they were O.Z racing. this was good, as i have been looking at getting some lighter wheels for the odd track day (currently 22kg/corner) and was looking at Alleggerita in either red or acid green (just to be different, pics to follow). So i went back to the O.Z website to see what i could find. Low and behold, as i scroll down the page, i come across the Superturismo WRC, in white, with red lettering... perfect (pics to follow). next step is to head to AMG Australia (importers of O.Z, BBS and others, not related to Mercedes amg) to see if they have them and if they will fit. and they do. 17x8 et35. have sent them an email regarding price and postage. then went to Alloywheels in the uk to get a price from them (have heard good things about them), can get the wheels for $1332.22aud delivered. the next step would be finding the right size semi-slick tyres for the polo and a 17x8 wheel (215/45, 225/40? [toyo proxies R888]).
also, to keep relevant, i plasti-dipped the front badge white (nothing big, and again, pic to follow)
TL;DR
to go full WRC look, or just #becauseracecar???
