UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I like 5 spoke wheels on cars with 5 fixing bolts, also they are easy to clean, I was wrong in saying my other wheel centres are for Melbourne 2, there probably were never any Melbourne 2 wheels, only Montreal 2 which were fitted to some Golfs, Montreal wheels were fitted to all "V" B5 Passats ...

Oh and I forgot the wife's Tiguan aswell!

I think it's safe to say I am a VW man.

Sounds like you hit the jackpot with that spare wheel then.

I think the Melbourne wheels are hard to get your hands on unless extremely lucky. Same as everything once they stop making them I suppose.

I know those alloys are not everybodies cup o' tea, but I really like them and think they suit the ...

The wheels I bought aren't in too bad a shape for the year I suppose.

Actually I seem to have 5 brand new ones and a used 1!

I must have bought a couple then spotted a set of 4 at a good, at the time, price, all genuine VW made in Italy as were these Melbourne wheels!

Do you want to start making some more postings as I don't think that we can PM each other until ...

I have a set of the alloy wheels, which again are second hand and in need of a refurb.

I am definitely interested in the ones you have.

That is amazing!.

I actually managed to buy 4 shabby looking second hand ones, with the intention of replacing the centre VW logo, which, in theory sounds great until getting hold of the correct badge is not so easy!

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

When you say a full set, what do you have exactly and how much are you looking for?

Hi everyone.

I am a new member to the forum, which I have been surfing for quite a while now, but am hoping with fingers crossed, that there may be a knowledgeable member here who might be able to help.

I have recently purchased my second Polo 9n, this time a 1.4tdi Twist. My first being a 1.2 ...
