I'm after some budget alloys for my mk3 polo and I've seen how cheaply you can get a good set of 15" bmw mini for with good tyres, does anyone know if they will fit? (they're 4 stud)

Even if they did mate, 15" is a little big for a mkIII. unless you run sillr skinny tyres, you're likely to get massive rub on the rears

Yes, they will, as they are 4 x 100PCD. I can't recall whether the centre bore is larger or smaller than VW, however. Someone with a Mark1 was running them at Edition38 last year.

But have you got v. skinny tyres? I have 14s and only down 40, and i had to have mine tucked back a bit

175'50/15's :biggrin:

BMW Mini wheels have a high offset so your more likely to get rubbing on the inside more than the outside. However, this is easily cured with a set of spacers.
