    Need opinion on wheel choice

    Hi guys,

    I've come across these rims and not sure if they would look good. I need the polo community to chime in.
    I think they are off an Audi A1 S-line but not 100% sure and are 215/40/17. Still have good tread and are pretty cheap. What do you guys think would they look any good?

    they'll probably look great, but ride like crap...

    they'll make your speedo slightly more accurate too, you'll go about 3kph faster in 5th gear @110kph than you do now for the same indicated speed

    Yeah worth checking pcd. If they are a3 or a4 by accident then they may not be 5x 100 but a1 is the same platform as polo, Fabian and a1 so they could be correct figment.

    My 2017 Polo GTi has 215/40/17's and it rides OK in the "normal" setting, "sport" gets a bit harsher though. So I wouldn't be too concerned about ride comfort.

    I found this site and it says all a1s are 5x100

    Just check the back side of the wheel. All the specs should be cast into the back of the spokes.

    Take the guesswork out of it.
