thanks :)

my choice is made.. 15inch bbs rm wheels are bought! :)

thanks alot guys for your pics and comments!

very nice car :thumbsup: , welcome to clubpolo :)

thanks alot :)

now i have to make a new choice of what to do with the rims.

they are going to be 7,5 and 8inch wide.

what tire should i wrap around the 7,5 rim?

on a 8 inch rim 185/45 looks nice.. but i'm not sure what to wrap around the 7,5

165/50 will be good :)

Oh I forgot to mention that I don't want an 165/50 tyre on the 7,5 :) too much of a stretch for me :)

175/50 ?

if my math is correct that will be a slight difference in height right?

175/50 = 87.5 mm Sidewall

185/45 = 83.2 mm Sidewall

that makes a difference of 4.3 mm between the front and rear tyre-sidewall .. how would that look?! :(

Does anyone have a pic of a 175/50 on a 7,5 15inch ??

ah...

just stick to 185/45s all round then ?

hmm yeah maybe

or i should hit 8 inch all round haha!

well i still need to fix the bbs so got plenty of time to think about it then :(

look at the difference in height standart and with coilovers :) hahhahahahaha

Its astonishing isn't it! I do the same and look of my pictures when my GTi was standard, and how it is now, and can't believe how high they are as standard! :paranoid:

well i found it just scary that cars are that far from the ground :) its not save to make a corner or something. damn its only 2years ago when i bought the little puppy and didn't remember it was that ugly, haha!

I'm the same. It just doesn't look "normal" at standard height anymore :lol:

:lol:8-):nod: :grin:

whoohoo

i'm going to look at some rm's this thuesday .. i can't wait! :)

YEAH!!

I finally bought some rm's for the polo.

I must say that they are not in a perfect condition as they are still standart and broke down by the weather but Oh my god these bithces will look so nice under the polo :) I can't wait to put them on.. but first its RM-BUILDING time :)

goodbye!

wide polished dishes and colour coded centres would set them off well!! 8-) good luck :thumbsup:

Edited by dj_troopa

i'm thinking of making them white :)

and indeed wide polished rims, something ike 7,5 inch all around.

nobody likes the pics of norway :) ? ah i get it, you guys want to see the rims! sorry they are still in a really bad shape, need to get them to the spray shop :)

hi, thanks mate!

you got 185 on the front and the back?

looks sweet.. if you got people in the back.. will it scratch your arche on an bump or something!?

185s front n back.. not much stretch on fronts tho. wheels just put on for photos I'm affraid.. arches need rolling to fit.

how is the front arch?? will that need to be rolled too?? thanks mate
