New wheels.....on.

[pist0nbr0ke]

:yes:

[vRS_Pagey]

Sweet!!! Very moody, just the way I like my cars. Can I recommend getting some tyre shine on, it will make it look 100 times better!! Oh and lower.............

[mdk1]

Very nice, what wheels are they?

[rob_e]

Fantastic!

I wish i'd seen these.. lol.

[another few mm lower at the front wouldn't go amiss, but otherwise its spot on IMO]

Tyre were shiny when I left home-pic taken 70 miles away, dusty roads... Does tyre shine make it lower?

18 x 8 Radius R12's in matt black :yes:

Fantastic!

Aye Rob,(& Pagey), 'moaarr low' would be good, but damned if I'm changing the springs again...perhaps I'll chop 'em

[sdwilliams72]

Glad you are happy Fellah, but I just don't get the whole black wheel thing

To me, my standard 18's in silver look fantastic on the car, especially when they are clean, and on a dark car, such as yours, i think the silver helps break up the darkness

Just my opinion tho!

No worries Steve-each to their own etc. Nothing wrong with the standard wheels, I just got these for a song...

I'm seriously toying with the idea of wrapping the mirrors matt black....wonder if it'll be too much.... :think:

[oobster]

Didn't like these wheels when you posted up pictures of them on another thread but now that I see them on I like them!

Is the engine standard?

[rob_e]

Black mirrors would be cool.

:p

I have some..

Rob, IIRC, you bought new, unpainted covers. Am I right & where from? :p

Are they the same as later Polos? Like these?

Although wrapping them will be cheaper....

[bertie1249]

Not for me sorry. I can't seem to get my head around what all the attraction is with black wheels. Silver is much nicer especially with large rims such as 18's

[bettsy]

great look - mean and moody

looks fast before it turns a wheel

[CEPi]

Top job, great combo with car paint.

Rob, IIRC, you bought new, unpainted covers. Am I right & where from? :p

Yep, got them from the dealer. 30 each IIRC? I'd painted my original caps graphite like my wheels but it looked ****e and the job i did was complete ****, so easiest option was just to swap for some new ones.

Although wrapping them will be cheaper....

Yes, you're probably right!

[pist0nbr0ke]

Cheers all.

@Rob-I'll give the wrapping a go...at least I can pull it off if I make a b@lls of it!!

On another topic, I've just noticed the time on the site hasn't changed with the rest of us....

[muckipup]

I like 'em

[Wardy]

Not really my thing, but it does make the car look a bit 'tougher'.

On the mirrors, the Polo covers will fit the pre-FL mirrors, but not the FL like Rob has.

[Simon TDI Sport]

I like them, look a bit like the pegasus alloys them do.

[Brimma]

I think they'd look good in gold :yes:

[Harry_vRS]

Looks good. Get your skirts painted!
