    Looking for a place to buy Replica VW Detroits for 5x100 any help? :(

    Just as the title says, looking for hopefully someone in Australia or even better Sydney to find a set of 17-18' Detroit wheels for 5x100 fitment for a Polo 6r

    Have a set of replica R wheels but since spotted a crack in the alloy so back to stock TSI sport wheels while awaiting refund...

    Any help would be appreciated

    I wish i enquired about the Detroits they only have 5x112

    I was wondering if the Victorians, Brisbanites or South Skips would have any links in their area as well.

    I will call habib tyres tomorrow to make sure....

    Apologies for the double post.

    Found Detroits in 17 x 7.5 around 18kgs after lifting (fairly good at guessing weight)

    However its a display and new stock will be arriving late January possible self Birthday present hahaha xD
