Wheel opinion

So hard to clean though Hail22

I disagree...an old soft toothbrush fixes everything

Rezax350

Euro 6

OZ Futura

Euro 15

umm none of those but i see where you are going...look for something similar but without the dish

throw on a set of 80s centrelines.

now that would be sweeeet. or how about some slotters...no wait, hotwires!

I'm more interested in knowing how the ride comfort was with springs and 18"

Lower springs + heavier wheels => higher spring rate (regardless of what gavs has been told) + greater unsprung mass
= underdamped response => jouncy, skitterish ride with attendant loss of grip on non-billiard table surfaces.

This above is why I'm doing coilovers

Can I ask what the problem was with driveability with your configuration?

I've had the same set up since 1000km on the car and never confronted issues even on the long drives I've done to QLD & SYD return. Of course if you hit a huge hole you're going to feel it but overall its been a good experience for me and I'm happy with 18s. I'm even changing my wheels shortly and staying with 18s.

IT isnt so much the config more the roads are piss poor and you can get caught out quite easily and mess up the wheels.
That being said i was looking at getting coilovers(Bilsteins) and keeping the 18s.

BTW i love your wheels and even had a look to see if i could get some here in Europe but to no avail.

I have hit some verrry big holes at high speeds and thought oh no...but to my surprise the wheels and tyres have stood up magnificently.

For many months I searched for those out-of-production Rays wheels in a spec that would fit the GTI...and now its time for a change. I'm also changing over to coilovers shortly.

Not a fan of those studs along the edge to be honest - but I can definitely see that you are! - I think those studs would look better on a classic muscle-car... I think the Polo is a bit too modern for them. I'm personally looking for a decent set of 16-17" Enkeis, something subtle yet a bit darker so it blends in with the pepper grey color... though I might try to be sensible and pick a more silver colored one as my Polo is already road-colored, any other road-grey parts on my car and I may as well be invisible... I suppose I could be thankful for DRLs -_-

Im finding it quite the mission to find a nice set of wheels for my polo. I've found a set I really like problem is they are 8.25inches wide which would be fine on the back but I think it its pushing it on the front as they sit about 27mm further out from standard.

Isn't that width illegal as well?
