the gt will just be 15mm lower than a standard polo mate, depending how low you want to go coilovers are gonna be the main option if you wanna go really low, or a set of lower springs if you just wanna take it down a little, although if going for springs you might have to factor in the -15mm depending on what the manufacturer says,
as for rims i imagine people go for tt comps cos theyre a nice rim not just because everyone else has them, i got a set which i intend to get refurbed and on the missus' polo at some point as i think they really suit them
admittedly i really do like them exors and always fancied a set but other than dans theyre a lot harder to come by and pricier probably for that reason

Cheers for the replys lads, i knowww know ive seen one with the TT's i seem to see even more of them now lol but they are a really nice wheel like youve said, what are those wheels then dan? Cant really see in the pic but they look rather tasty

and whats ur dimensions sizes etc if ur selling them?
Thanks aswell 88rsr in the lowering department been tryin to find out for a wile now the factory lowering figures as lile u said when i emailed a supplier of some springs that i would have to fin out wether or not it was lowered as an example he said 15mm from factory so buying 35mm springs wud only lower it 20mm than how it looks now, this sound about right?

they are called the vw exor alloy mate very rare vw wheel i think only 2 polos on this forum have them mine and another one

last year they were £250 a wheel! erm they are 17" mate ill be getting them refurbed so they will be like brand spankers

tyres have only done 2000 on the front toyo t1r's and avon zv3 on the rears

iv just got to get my other wheels refurbed first before i make any moves so it will only be another couple of weeks or so
