Finally got started on refurbing my wheels, so in the mean time
Got me some G60 steelies
The refurbs going ok, but nackard one of the 64 bolts.
Had to hammer a bigger peice in to remove it.
Getting the centres powder coated, and was thinking of getting a gunmetal grey colour.

I know what I'm getting when mine get refurbed.
I agree with Ben, I think they look real cool on the GTi

Looks cool
Is the bolt that was stuck completely knackered, or can you reuse it? If you need a new one talk to
http://www.justmatz.co.uk/ They helped me out when I snapped some of mine.

yea looks really cool, not normally a fan of steelies of any kind on the newer polos but that really suits it....will look even better when you've got your refurbed wheels on

Yeah total stripped the head trying to get it out.
I think they really suit the car, will be better on tuesday when i get the centre caps, forgot to order them with the wheels.
should look like this

Looking good mate. Shame you haven't got the black centre caps, they make them look even better.
I've just taken my G60's back off, got my BBS's refurbed and back on last week.

They look good, the silver contrast to the black makes them even better

How much for a set with the tyres? I'd be looking to get some for the winter

Saw a new set, with rubber on Edition38 for £300. Seemed a bit pricey to me, but they were £380 new apparently.
Worth a look, and perhaps an offer

Well i paid around £26ish + vat, plus £18 postage.
so about £140 altogether.
Plus what ever tyres you put on,
I just got the set i had on the bbs's put on.
Gonna get 4 new tyres for the bb's after i have finished refurbing them
