Schmidt MLs are a nice looking wheel but the laquer is very thin and their customer support is unsupportive to say the least, a little dissapointing when you've just forked out £500+ for bare single peice wheels. If you're planning to use the car much and you drive hardish, be prepared to be cleaning these DAILY. Leave brake dust on them for more than 24 hours and bingo! Brake dust etching. I cleaned my MLs every day except once when they went 48 hours and there was laquer peeling off withing 3 months. Needless to say Schmidt didn't want to do anything about it. I have pics of what happened to my rims if anyone is remotely interested, and I know how to look after wheels. My previous Ronal LS went 2 years and were unmarked when I sold them on. Sorry to put a downer on it. If I had to have the same style wheels again I would have Revolution RFX.

I'm looking at buying either of the above, but reading about the Polo GTI is a pretty scary experience with many tales of busted gearboxes, clutches and the infamous pedal box issue. My question is, I'm assuming that the engine and box in the Lupo GTI is the same one as in the Polo GTI, is this correct? If so, do the Lupos not suffer from the problems that the Polo does for some reason or is it just a case of Polo owners complain more? Hope that makes sense! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" />
