Recommended Posts

Well hopefully if i have my way and i get a VW, most likely a polo for first year, then lupo sport next year ;)

i'm wanting to have g60 steelies and i've been hearing round you can get them from the dealership for £120? then i see £160 etc etc..

just wanting to no the exact price please, plus the black centre caps.

then i can compare prices with the guy who is selling them on ebay for £140 and £20 p&p then £22 for centre caps, and see which ones are the best to get :)

also am i right in thinking 195/50 15 toyo t1r tires will fit them perfectly?

cheers in advance :rolleyes:

ringe a few dealers and find out the prices a few minutes on the phone would resolve this,

Dam you common sense, if only everyone thought about doing that :D :D :D

195/50s will fit, but will look terrible on them on a lupo - They are only 6j so 195/50s will balloon out!

I tried a pair of 195/45s on and they looked full crap.

You need 165/50s - Slight stretch but nothing unsafe, but its a look that suits the car.

got any pics to compare 195's and 165's?

and at first they would be on a lupo, then next year on a lupo sport :P (me hopes)

someone else said they were 6.5j, but even if they are 6j the perfect size for the rim is 195 or 185, you can go upto 225/50/15(if they fit in the arches). 165/50/15 is the narrowest you can go.

so the 195/50/15 toyo will be perfect for the wheels. and probably for the polo aswell.
