Which Polo Should Get The Wheels?

Featured Replies

Got some BBS wheels for my saloon the other day, but when i looked at them i thought they might look better on my heck.

which one do you think should get them? as I'm 50/50!

wheels (will get a refurb)

they are 15s 6.5 wide but et33 believe theyare BBS RZs i recon with some stretch tyres they would sit in nicely, but not sure yet.

the loons existing wheels i believe are "cosmics" they are 1980s wheels. they are diamond cut but due to there age some of there bling is lost and i looked at getting them re cut but its expencive and i dont love them that much! :lol:

the Enzo cups on the heck are staying as i have 8 of them (3 still in the box :oops: ) from when i was going to make a half polo tailer to match :roll: so they will go on whatever car doesnt get the new wheels! well thats the idea anyway.

which car gets them decides the colour scheme and centre caps i go for.

Would look good on the squareback. You will alomst certainly have to roll the rear arches though because the OE offset for a heck is ET45. Some 165 or 175 stretched tyres would work ok :biggrin:

Squareback all day long for me!

as i said before def the squareback! will look brilliant!

squareback

HECK!!

Think that’s unanimous then!! Heck it is. Will get the 195 tyres of them and do a trial fit see if my arches will accept them

I’m just going for standard BBS sliver for the refurb and then some new centre caps either 3D “BBS” or the BBS “design line” ones

They´d look awesome on the Heck, but 6.5 *15 et33 - Imposible on the Heck, if you want so keep the stock arch optic!

Belive me, mine are 6.5*15 et 38, so your are +5 mm each side - 5 mm you simply dont have.

hate to admit it but i dont think they will fit on the heck comfortably! even with a stretch!

but i washed them up to see how thye actually were so 2 are good and 2 are average so its refurb time soon i think.

the 195/50s are BIG ! but i think it looks ok. :paranoid:

the centre caps are made up of 3 bits but u only seem to be able to buy the BBS logo bit or the whole thing not individually :-(

but i have another idea for the heck :thumbsup: so its birthdays in may so it might get something then.

before and after pic: ( not as good looking in real life :roll: )

only pic at the moment on the loon but will replace it with a decent one tomorrow

i would put them on the heck, and put the wheels that are on the heck now on to the loon cos they would look way better on it.

edit - ok didnt read to the bottom before i posted that lol but i stand by it

dont just listen to what people are saying in here, you have the rims and the heck sitting go try it out and see if its not too bad? or if it could be acceptable with some stretch or something?

Nice wheels Richard!

They look good on the loon, a slight drop is needed though in my opinion.

think they look really good on the loon mate

unfortunately it may require arch work on the heck to get it sittin right but at the same time it'd be sooooo worth it.

either way nice choice of rimmage

They Look awesome on the Loon!

What about some of these...
