its worth the extra money, as it looks better, and wont cause problems with lowering later.

Ic ic... cool... thanks.

I remember this website http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html its very useful... tyre speed calculator.

Should I post it up as a sticky?

Stock Polo wheels (well... for my 1.4CL) are 175/65/13


Okies... so lets say the rims I'm getting come with 185/55/15's... would it be ok driving it until its time to get new tyres?
Getting these rims 2nd hand off another car see.

Also another site I was given... http://www.mytyres.co.uk/start.html for cheap tyres.

So I've got my wheels now... they look nice... but I still cant put them on... not even just to get a taster of what they look like.

I ignored the difference in centre bore because I didnt realise what the measurement meant.
Anyhow I know now... and my news wheels a centre bore too small to fit that of the polo's. Should I just sell these wheels or should I get the centre bore machined to fit the polo?
Anyone know anywhere in London where I can get the centre bore machined to fit the correct size?
