UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Thought I share my winter setup that I installed on my GTI today...

Wheels are Dezent Dark TD + GoodYear UltraGrip 8 tires, kept to the dimmensions as in my documents do its 15 inch setup with 185/60 rubber.
I kept the center caps off for now as I have some VW ones coming in the mail to completed the look...

Photo below what u folks think?

PS noticed the car pulls a bit to the right now... This was not the case with my stock 17 gti wheels maybe need to do optics?

I'll join in with my winter setup aswell.

Wheels are Audi Pepperpots from the first model Audi A3 unrefurbished in original paint. with 185 / 60 - 15 Continental Winter Contact TS850

Like the setup a lot Martin!

BTW where did u get or how did u mod your VW logo on the front to be black... i think I wanna do the same on my GTI.

Regards LAZ

I bought this one from Parts4Euros.

They also have a Front and rear badge combo. Bot DO NOT BUY THAT ONE!!! The rear badge is not for a Polo 6R.
But the front one fit's perfectly.

This one fit's the rear bagde. I just ordered one myself.

Wow 15's actually look really good.
Good choice of tyre too.
I've got a really good deal on some oem 17's which i am going to wrap in 215-40-17 nokians..... A smaller wheel is always better like what you've done, but i'm content with a tyre which works in the snow!

Cheers on the comments i went with 15s as roads here are horrid and im actually appreciating the extra comfort these provide versus the stock Monza wheels on 215/40 Bridgstones.

As for the rubber plan was to get the Conti TS850 or the Dunlop 4D but both was sold out so I went with the sure shot GoodYear UG I had those before on my BMW E90 and they were great...

PS do post a pic of ure setup do

Cheers LAZ

purchased replacement center cap stickers at the local dealer 0,98 EURO a piece... put them on the plastic center caps that came with the wheels and voila...

My winter setup as promised, a little delayed as its nearly spring now...

We've had practically zero ice or snow up to now, just a lot of rain.
