Help me out... I can't choose!
Help me out... I can't choose!
I'd never thought it'd come to this...
I can't choose between these wheels even if my life depended on it...
Here's the thing, I've had a set of BBS Solitudes in my bedroom for 4 months now, bought them just before winter set in.
I was going to fit these within a week or two, but I'm having serious doubts.
Since they are OE Polo wheels (Color Concept, Joker, etc) they'll look okay, but it may not be what I'm after. Here's what they look like:
Now, as an alternative, I'm considering Ronal R10's. Yes, the love 'em or hate 'em Turbo's...
Not too expensive, and I can sell my current BBS wheels within a day, without a loss, to a mate. Not bad eh?
Here's the Ronal's. Or, look at Tas' Gti...
I know his car is a Mk5, but it's the best I could do.
Can someone kick me into making a decision?
Please?

i know everyone says this btw but its true
ill tell you what then mate
as you (and a few peeps on here) know i work in the auto trade. some times i get a LOT of stick from my co workers about the way i choose to mod my car (they prefer the lairy and neone`d style) when ever i hear them i start to think about changing my plans to be a little more "out there"/ "garish"(didnt mean to offend btw) but then when i jump in my car and drive her again i realise that the reason why i mod my car isnt those monkeys, its me. i modify my polo because i like the polo, not because i couldnt find a clio williams (like there all looking for). i got a silver polo cos of the way i love the way you cvan make the light play over the panels. i didnt get a five door so that it was a little cheeper or a little trendier. i bought my polo because it was my choise, there was a red 3 door TDI that was a tad mode but no i saw my polo and liked it so i got it. then i saw my wheels and chose them, fitted them etc and when i used to say that i ran OZ tucanos they would say oh got youve got some of the most played out style of wheel going (5 spoke 15") but those same people were the same ones that rushed out to see my car with the wheels fitted. same with the suspension and largely the same as far as my future plans go because people out here dont like smoth styling and cant understand why i dont pick up a gti motor and ecu rather than wring my engine out till it pops.
its your car
its your choise
its your money
its you who gets the *** kissing when they all realise "whoa dude like that rocks"(exept in nederlandeez, or german or english (what language do netherlandic(?) peeps speek ))
so please dont mod your car for them, me a forum do it for you and if you like it painted lime green with pink dots then dont expect me to like the color but i will buy the next round of drinks to say that i respect you for doing what you wanted

nederlandeez weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
im glad i could help cos if you dont like your car then you wont be pleased with it and it you dont like it then you wont be as motivated so things only get done so-so instead of 100% i have the same problem since a copper made me remove my front tints but i may have a plan in the making
so do we get to know which wheel it isor is it a surprise until the grand unveiling on the car
ps another thing i didnt think of in my last post is that wheels are such a big change that if you pick the whong one then its like you swapped for a ******

Hi Speedy, I've had a thought about your wheel dilema.
The Ronals are fantastic wheels, but we are starting to see more cars with them on. if you like the style, but want something different, have you tried th Pirelli P-Slots? I think you'll like. I saw these on a Mk2 Golf @ Worthasee show last year (the wicker car).
I'll get a pick so you can see.
