17" Boavista Alloys

[smn88888]

Can it be fitted with an adapter of some sort? Though i think the ET is quite a bit off.

[B1N9S]

Et is 45mm, which will be fine with adapters. 20mm adapters would leave the offset at 25mm and they would sit nice and wide at the arch.

Ebay has them at £399 + P&P for the wheels only, price in a set of tyres and PCD adapters and your up close and personal to £1k !!!!!

Damn thats a lot for replica wheels, hate to think how much the wheels and tires will cost from Audi.

Don't know why, but I cant see 18" wheels on a Polo being problem free (speed bumps, full lock turning etc...)

[B1N9S]

With the right size tyres, shouldn't be any different to 17" !!

Apart from the ride will suffer due to reduced side walls. But I doubt it will be that noticeable. Each to their own I suppose.

My point was, why spend all that money on some nice alloys, when they aint gonna improve the looks of the car (Not in 15"), and thats the main reason for swapping the alloys (to improve the looks).

[smn88888]

Might need to factor in lowering springs/coilovers too. It might he as high as a 4x4 with 18's lol

[B1N9S]

LOL.

Unfortunately in standard guise the POLO is already like a 4x4 no matter what size wheels you throw at it.

Lowering is obligatory when fitting sexy new alloys IMO !!!!!!!

Take a look here; we are looking for a 6R development car at the moment so you could be in luck!

Thats true haha, my AC modas go kart wheels currently leaves a huge gap.

Hi guys,

On the topic of the Boavista alloys, i've had a photo of my Polo photoshopped to see what i'd look like if I got the Boavista's refurbed with a gloss black finish. What do you think?

[B1N9S]

Never been a lover of black wheels, so that would be a definite no from me !!!!
