17" Boavista Alloys

Post by Polo 2011 Moda »

Where can I get these wheels?
Been looking since I got my car... There not listed on the VW website but if I ring them, will they have them for sale?

I think thats the only option left, theres nothing online.

VW parts department should be able to sort you out. It'll be expensive though...

Called up VW last year, from what i remember it was almost £2,000 for a set of 4 with tires.

Would rather get a set of the audi rs3 style wheels as they look alike/much better imo.

However this GTI has been ruined, those wheels are old school and the Gold is dreadful plus he has gone too far with the lowering and as a result the offset looks odd and the rear wheels are not central in the arches :(

Personally I'm not a huge fan of the gold wheels but each to their own. Think the RS3 wheels look great on the Polo though, arguably better than on the car they are made for.

I agree, not keen on the white one to be honest. I wouldn't mind a rest of the ttrs wheels but im not sure if it would look good on a red 5 door polo.
