Ye Ill add a few suprises in time :lol:

Nice looking car, in honesty i prefer the look of OEM with the BBS wheels, but it shall look sweet when dropped on those ATS :)

Ye i like the OEM Look too! jus the RA's lacked in the width department :shock: n ye plans to lowering for the summer 60mm atm is enough for winter lol

If that's the case, what were the widths of the RAs?

I have a set of BBS wheels (possibly RZ, i don't know) and they're 6.5J with an offset of 30.

Just trying to wonder how much they'll poke/tuck on my car!

ra's are 6j

joe has a set of rz's on my polo before he sold it me! on a mk3 they fit very well and on a 6n I'm guessing they will tuck a bit more, space them a bit and they will be nice on a 6n, if i remember correctly he sold them to someone with a 6n

Nothing wrong with a good set of RA's... and so cheap these days. I'm running mine as winter wheels untill my cats are getting refurbished. Plus the RA was/is OEM other than RZ's which isn't.

I see your point, the RZs definitely aren't OEM but when you get them local and cheap you can't complain.

Winter wheels?

Looks sick.

RA's are not just 6J, they can be 5J, 5.5J or the limited edition mk1 Golf GTI ones that are 13x6J.

Looking good joe! , i award you the "Best Looking VW Polo in this area" award.
