Hi, apologies of this is a stupid question. I have recently bought a 2004 1.2 Polo and one of the tyres is slowly losing air. I have the tyre replaced, so I am guessing it's a problem with the alloy. I am looking to get a replacement but I am just unsure what the size is... I have tried numerous searches with suppliers and always get different results. Can anyone advise me on what size I need?
Thanks

Re: Wheel size
To cover the possibility that your car does not have the standard or optional alloys fitted, your best plan is always to remove a wheel and check its part number which will be cast into the rear of the wheel, also the width and offset(ET) will also be cast into the rear of these wheels.

Re: Wheel size
I think the standard OEM VW wheels fitted to the Polo Twist had the part number 6Q0 601 025K; @billy badger, if you do a Google search on the part number, you’ll be able to see from the pictures if they’re the same as the wheels fitted to your car. If they are, then the spec of those wheels is;
Width; 6J
Diameter; 14”
Offset; ET43
Stud pattern; 5x100
Centre Bore; 57.1
