Edit:
We do not buy these wheels from the manufacturer but from a UK importer, I would assume that the wheels would be from the far east somewhere like China or Taiwan. The wheel will weigh around 12-15 Kgs and come with an industry standard 12 Month warranty on the finish.

Is this a good weight? also made in china/Taiwan without full facts of course...

Damn! >.<

Thats basically the same weight as the stock wheels. Not really any weight saving there...

I have heard polos with 18 x 8's but not 8.5's. To me 8.5 inches wide to me seems too wide for the Polo, sure maybe a Golf MKVI or MKV again this is from a theoretical perspective as i haven't seen 18 x 8.5s on a polo.

It does to me too and I'm not sure why.

It's because they used a lens/effect which is known as miniature but theres another name for it but I can't remember, my sisters got a camera with the effect it makes the photo look like the I-spy books :D

Tilt-shift is the proper name, took that photo using Instagram ;)
