paulbin Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 As VW ruined my polished teardrops by covering them in wheel acid, and they cant find a place to polish them back up, the aftersales manager said he will give me a new set of wheels as a replacement.So i asked if i would keep mine and he said yes, so thats my teardrops that i can polish back up myself, and a brand new set of wheels as a replacement.The only thing is the wheels would have to be a genuine VW wheel.Do people know of any nice VW wheels? part numbers etc.OR would you find a company that will refurb the wheels and give VW the bill??

Ramirez Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) Gutted for you mate, they looked spot onDon't you polish them last time? If so, do it again and get free rims!For your car I'd sugest BBS RX2's (Polo GTi) would look sweet on your car.Edit: Damn you Andi! Got in first.

TANNER Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Id say polo Gti wheels or new Mk5 Golf Gti, could get some decent sell on cash for those too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob GTI Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Its got to be the Polo GTI BBS split rims. They cost a fortune new, they could regret making you that offer!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
payna Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 deffinatley polo gti rims imo, would look really nice style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbin Posted March 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 ok so looks like we are all one sided, but what if they cant get polo rims, any other tasty ones for the lupo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicki Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Whatever you can get your mitts on thats worth a few quid - get them, ebay them, pay to have your wheels refurbed, pocket the difference. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 You lucky sod - I wish all stealers were that reasonable!I'd get something with the highest resale value, sell them on and polish yours back up. The Polo BBS Splits are likely to be along those lines, so I'd agree with pretty much everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
payna Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 i dunno if these would still be available??? border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />......most probably not but they would look cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicki Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Mk5 non-GTI 15"s are sweeeet (dunno what model they're on, but I saw a set the other day).Polo BBS's like everyone has suggested or even a set of Bathursts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrified Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 do they have to fit your car?mk5 golf r32 alloys and sell them on for silly money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_chris1981 Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 r32 wheels are cheapy.......cos their made by oz...and seem to have a habbit of falling off lorries and ending up on ebay.if your looking to make some decent cash then go for either:polo gti bbs splitsmk4 aniversary bbs splitsbeetle rsi wheels.....if they know what they are.....any of those should make you a few quid, with the aniversary and rsi wheels being the rarer ones......

Petes 16V Sport Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I imagine they'll only offer you wheels that will fit your car, so I reckon polo GTi rims are the way to go, so nice, and look so good on loops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXXXtreme arosa Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 i agree the polo gti rims are mint and i bet you'd get a great price for them i know when i wanted some i couldnt get them for love nor money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris260 Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 BBS RM's would fit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I would imagine it extremely unlikely they will let you pick the 17inch Monzas standard to the Golf GTi, or the optional 18inch Monza 2's, or the 18inch Zolders from the R32, but if they do, go for them, people will pay good money for them!My vote would be with the Polo GTi or the Lupo's Bathursts. They do some nice big wheels on the current Polo TDi Sport though, almost Audi RS6 looking is the best way I can describe them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiminy Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 some polo splits recently went for £250 and the rims needed work,i was tempted to put these on my golf a couple of years ago but decided they were to small, but they would be my top choice for a loop.
