Looking good @willni .
Given the choice between Brescias and Pretorias, it’d have to be Pretorias as I dislike anything that’s diamond cut (poor durability and almost inevitable they’ll succumb to white worm, easily damaged by tyre fitters, more expensive to refurbish than a painted / powder coated alloy).
Thanks SRGTD, I think I followed your Polo build on Polos-UK some years ago btw.
I'd be very much of the same opinion regarding diamond cut. I usually run winter wheels so the Brescias would only be on when there's no salt on the roads, as well as I think the Brescias just look very GTI.
The main factor that puts me off the Pretorias is that there's so many people that run them, understandably so they are a fantastic looking wheel, but a little bit of deviation is nice. If 19 inch winter tyres were a lot cheaper it would be an easy choice of getting both
I am a regular contributor on uk-polos.net forum but I didn’t have a build thread; my car modifications are limited to changing my wheels
. I can remember your Flash Red 6R Polo and really liked the BBS alloys you had on that car.
Yes, Pretorias and Pretoria reps are very popular and a nice looking wheel. The OEM Prets do seem to be susceptible to pothole (and similar) damage though, and if that happens, they’re expensive to replace! If you’re running winter wheels, then that does lessen the risk of white worm (or at least delays it’s onset), which would make a set of Brescias a more viable option
