“GTI” is one of the most legendary abbreviations when it comes to sporty top models. The corresponding Golf version, of course, achieved a particularly iconic status - its first generation will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2026, by the way. However, VW later successfully transferred the label to other model lines as well, especially the Polo. Its GTI also has a large fan base - not least in the tuning scene. This is demonstrated by the example of the most recent AW generation presented here. Among other upgrades, it has been customized with a set of high-quality Barracuda Racing Wheels.
The sporty subcompact sits on Tzunamee EVO wheels, which stand out thanks to their striking, asymmetrical Y-spoke design. They measure 8x18 inches all around. The tires are sized 215/35ZR18, and the silver brushed finish creates a strong contrast to the GTI-typical red body paint.
Naturally, a substantial lowering was also a must. It allows the new wheels to sit perfectly under the fenders. This was achieved with the help of a KW gepfeffert coilover suspension. The team at Winkel KFZ from Siegen is responsible for the Polo’s build, which is rounded off with additional upgrades such as a red roll bar in the rear.
Breathtaking videos from Barracuda are available on the YouTube channel “Barracuda Racing Wheels” or interactively on the Instagram profile “barracuda.wheels” or the Facebook page “Barracuda Europe Racing Wheels”. The light alloy wheels from the extensive Barracuda rim range are available from car dealerships or well-stocked tire and specialist retailers.
