Re: Polo gti parabolica alloys wanted.
Forum member Tam9n had a set for sale in June. Might be worth contacting them to see if they are still for sale as the ad. doesn't indicate they've been sold. Link to ad. below;

Re: Polo gti parabolica alloys wanted.
If you want to get them via a UK dealer, have you tried your local VW dealer? I'm sure they could obtain a set for you, but they're likely to be expensive; forum member Bear1992 was quoted £550 per wheel by their dealership earlier this year. Link to thread below;

If your car is as per your signature (Polo r line), fitting a set of GTI Parabolica wheels would be classed as a modification for insurance purposes, so don't forget to inform your insurer.

I've seen a set of 4 on gumtree for £470! But too far away to drive I guess I could ask vw if I'm desperate but £550 a wheel is disgraceful

Re: Polo gti parabolica alloys wanted.
Can't you get the seller on gumtree to send them to you via courier if you agree to pay the courier charge? It'll be much cheaper than buying a new set at £550 a wheel.Abs223 wrote:I've seen a set of 4 on gumtree for £470!

I'd be a little weary of replica wheels as I remember seeing some on Alibaba/Aliexpress but I wouldn't know if they were replica's or not

Re: Polo gti parabolica alloys wanted.
Agree, 6RPotentialBuyer. A lot of the replicas will be described as being in the style of the originals (e.g. Parabola 'style' alloys). Some of the replicas are also of questionable quality - they may not have the same structural rigidity as OEM alloys so would be more prone to buckling. The quality of the finish may be poorer too, so if they're diamond cut, they're may be more susceptible to white-worm corrosion.6RPotentialBuyer wrote:I'd be a little weary of replica wheels as I remember seeing some on Alibaba/Aliexpress but I wouldn't know if they were replica's or not
The Parablicas highlighted by CGreen98 are advertised as genuine wheels, so should be OK.

Would the carrier service pick up the wheels from the seller then delivery to me?

Anything you find on aliexpress isn't going to be genuine

Re: Polo gti parabolica alloys wanted.
It may be easier for the seller to arrange the courier, but yes, the courier would collect the wheels from the seller and then deliver them to you. The seller would need to package the wheels for transportation as per the courier's requirements to ensure they're not damaged during transit.Abs223 wrote:Would the carrier service pick up the wheels from the seller then delivery to me?
There are other courier firms that you might want to check to see what their carriage charges are (try a Google search), but I've seen Paisley Freight mentioned on other forums - I've not used Paisley personally, so can't vouch for how good they are; maybe other forum members have and can provide feedback? If you've not already done so, probably worth reading through the FAQ's and packaging requirements etc. on the carrier's website.
