Ive got some 17 inch team dynamics pro race one wheels on order for the gti! each wheel weighs 7.4g how light are they!

been told to get the wheels on i need to by kuhmo 215/35 tyres but cost trade to me Â£170 each! would 205/40s be ok cos i can get toyo proxes or falkens for Â£60 each??

ill tell you now, your never getting on 215 tyres on a Polo without severe arch mods.

They'll scrape and catch on the inside of the arch for sure. my 195's do occasionally when on full lock, so 215's . . .

Good luck though mate !

7.4g

?
really that light?
i would go for 205/40 and get some arch work.
195s i would imagine be very expensive

What about 16"? I have mine lowered 50mm now and would love to get some 16" BBS RX2 Split rims, basically the same as what come on the GTi stock but an inch bigger, want to keep the same look but feel the current wheels are a bit puny and out of date...think 16" are standard now!

I've bidded on some on ebay, Â£520 so far with 195/45, any suggestions?

Cheers!
