Polo on Austin 17" Wheels - This needs to be done!!

Post by ryanlownie »

So I got bored earlier and wondered what a Polo 6R would look like with a set of the new Golf MK7 GTI Wheels on it, the Austin's. Only a mockup using the car builder, not got the time to do angled shots or anything fancy...

It looks GOOD! The new shadow monza's are nice but these even newer "GTI" wheels look so nice on the Polo. I'd even buy replicas if these could be made in 17"....

Personal preference, but I think they look out of place on the golf and suit the Polo better.

My reasoning, the Polo is quite an angular arrowhead type design which then gets curvy telephone dial wheels. The golf is a more rounded smoother design which gets angular pointy alloys.

I think they suit the Polo as you've posted but I'm still happy with my shadows.

Looks pretty amazing. A taster of things to come when the next generation Polo GTI lands? :D

Saw a new Golf GTI in the dealers today fitted with these wheels look so much nicer in the flesh, and 17" would suit the 6R tempted myself to get a set. 8)

Wow, that's pretty much what I was thinking.

Wish I had that cash spare, would love to chuck them on and see how they look.
