Cheers - it was on the tip of my tongue!
Porka ones look good, but i need laquered ones as they're gonna be on over winter while I strip and polish my standard rims... hopefully!

They are pretty smart looking aren't they?
I believe they are Porsche wheels and will hazard a guess that they are Design 90s? (correct me if I am wrong, I'm not the wheel pimp on here!).
They are five stud so you will need to get some Porsche adaptors which you can pick up from some specialist VW firm, try Eurotek, I read somewhere that they were doing a special offer on some H&R ones with nuts and bolts. Be expecting to pay a hefty amount for them!
Damn, you were quick JimBob, the time it took for me to write this you'd already posted and had a reply!

Am I right in assuming that the hub adaptors will also sort out the funky offset as well?
The only other thing would be a porsche brake upgrade, but now we're talking some real moolah! I've already asked about one, and i'd need to effectively put a TT hydraulic system into my car first, as the gti master cylinder is pathetic!

Don't quote me on this, as I'm not too sure of the porka offset. They should adapt the Polo from 4 x 100 PCD to 5 x 135 (Possibly 5 x 105?) PCD.

Cheers for the help guys - I think I'm going to have to look into this a bit further. At least I know they definately go on, as the picture prooves it!
My only other thoughts are a set of RH toplines - but i'm not sure if they did them in 16"
Anybody got an idea of any other similar wheels... As you've probably guessed I'm looking at fairly splab sided numbers..

The adaotors sort out the funky offset and they go on fine. My adaptors have VW thread so I can use VW bolts.
If you want a set of laquered ones - Ebay is always a good place to start.
Oh and 6's and 8's are more common than the 7's. So expect to pay more for 7's.
Hope that helps.
