Wheels

Let me repeat the FARMING part

Hi guys and gals, I am thinking of getting these wheels for my Polo. The centre bore is 57.1mm. Does anyone know if this will be ok for the Polo?

Wayne, 57.1 is bang on for VW's, but PCD may be either 5x100 or 5x112. You'll have to confirm that.

Thanks. PCD is 5 x 100 for the PoGo, same as those wheels which are an accessories wheels for Bora and used by VW racing R32s. If anyone else is interested, offset is 38 and it is a 17x7.5.

Didn't immediately click that they ^ are Bora Sports.
Yes they will fit on the Pogo Will look pretty good too!

Those rims look sweet! A great choice for the Pepper Grey.

I was thinking of getting a quote for the 17" VW Motorsport rims in black for my candy white GTI on order. The Newcastle dealership had a white GTI demonstrator fitted with them and it looked awesome!





Although I'm scared to even imagine what the price will be...

Did anyone here actually find out the cost of these? Also, does anyone know what they weigh? Looks good, downside though is that it is no wider than the standard GTI wheels, nor is the offset anymore aggressive.

Email Ian @ Rennehaus, he has links with VWR in the UK.

Has anyone considered getting in touch with VW Germany to ask about the Detroits?

I got quoted about a grand per corner for those. Was even advised to go aftermarket by the dealer when i was looking at them.

Nice look, but heavy...

If you want nice rims, look to the USA... OEM are way over priced new.

For example, you can get my rims Enkei's, RPF1's for around 1500 new, they are half the weight of the Bora Sports, wider, but obviously you need to suit your own tastes.

If you want a used set, they go for over a grand in good cond.
