Right i need help, at the moment I have shortlisted two wheels:
Artec AD, black with polished lip or Ronal LS what do we reckon for the black GTI?

the Artec ones i would say, purely for the reason i see ronal ls as a cheap copy of BBS RM/S's......

Ronal's for me, who gives a flying f**k as to whether their reps or cheap copys etc. They look good, better than half the Rm's u see people put on their polo's because they cant be arsed or dont want to fork out the cash to build a set properly.

it was my opinion.....i would rather run a s**t set of RS's than a spanking new set of Ronal LS's

Tom u are indeed entitled to your opinion, i simply posted mine. I would however probably change my mind if i actually had a set of Rm's/Rs' on my car so i do see where you're coming from. At the same time though, i think that the Ronal Ls' are a classic set of wheels and no offence TomW they're much nicer than the artecs imo...
Another thing to consider is the fact that some people dislike the bolts on split rims and prefer the cleaner look of the ronal's, lets be frank the mesh design wheels are pretty intricate as they are! Personally the bbs rm/rs without bolts would be the perfect wheels for me, unfortunately ronal's dont fit the bill for me because they're a bit dishless..
They do give a fat stance on 6n/6n2 polo's though!

i can see what you mean there.....a wide set of BBS with no bolts wouldnt be half as hard to clean hahah

OMG i f*****g hate cleaaning my wheels, polishing every bolt one by one lol.... Hows the 1.8t coming along? U built up another set of Rs' yet? Tbh, i can buy all the different sets of wheels i want but i know i'll end up with Rm's/Rs' in 7.5s and 8.5s on my 6n2 lol.. However on a 6n polo NOTHING beats borbet t's for me

Yeh bolts on wheels suck, that's where Schmidts come into play

Personally i reckon the rs suit the polo better, i think the th lines should be left to the bigger VIP style cars.... Interior sounds good... any sneaky shots? lol
