Silver! Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 14" dia. and 6j widthIf you look at the numbers on your tyres you will most likely see 185\55\14 the last number is the wheel dia. in inches.The first is the width of the tyre tread in mm and the second is the depth of the sidewall measured as a percentage of the tyre width.So your current tyres would be:185mm wide55% of 185mm sidewall depth14" wheel diameter.

Ashh Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 What size are the tyres? i'd guess 6.5J tyre size will help a fair bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 They are the same as Lupob Sport wheels. You would need to get your tyres changed over.In my opinion, you should look for a set of Arosa Mk2 Phase2 Sport wheels. Look really nicce on a MK2 Arosa.

veedubdub Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 ive got a set with tyres you can make a offer on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 It's more "are they readily available". You can't drive yet, so have plenty of time to keep an eye out for some.I reckon and I'm sure many will agree, that the OEM Seat Arosa wheels you already have look in better nick than those Polo SE wheels you are looking at. I also think that the Polo SE wheels are too straight for the curves of the Arosa.Only change something if it's going to improve the looks or give you better performance.^^ There you go an offer already.
