My girlfriends new '05 polo(because I wouldnt let her buy a megane!!),spotless little car with low mileage,fogs and electrics! Just has germans for the moment. Looking to drop it a small bit and get a nice set of wheels,anybody any recommendations regarding wheel size 16's or 17's? obviously 16's would be a better fit but are 17's a big squeeze??
Any suggestoins welcome

With the rain/flood weather, if you hit any sort of puddle you'll/she'll aquaplane

Iv see it happen with a similar polo

Plus it looks shite
Cheers for that John,personally I'd go 15's and deck it on coilovers but it is her car I suppose!! Reckon it will be 16's with 30/35mm springs just have to find a nice set now!

Anything over 16s will rip the bearings out of the gearbox. Montreal ii look the business on 6n3 Polos
