Re: Audi A1 wheels on my Polo SEL?

You just need to do a TPM reset from infotainment menu (or with a button in the glove box). That will "re-calibrate" TPM to accept different wheels

Re: Are there actually any aftermarket parts for the 6C?!

Yes, this is not an opinion, I did a measurement with wheel off. Maybe not 312 but 310 - it's not easy to measure disc precisely.
