17" Monzas needed
« on: 18 May 2013, 11:20 »
anyone got a decent set of genuine monza 17s

my mrs is taking my car and doesnt want the 18s so im going to bag them up and fit some 17s (better ride and less likely to get curbed)

not so bothered about tyres as long as wheels are good

Keep an eye on ebay and mk5 and just get a.set repainted.
If anything I think the ride in yours standard with 18s was much better than mine with 17s. Less bounce.
I do know what she is thinking though.

I have a set of 17" monza's (originals) that are unmarked with bridgestones that have covered 5k, looking to swap for monza shadows if that's what you've got? They're only a year old!

That's a good question...it would depend on the condition of yours and how good the tyres are? I'm happy to put money your way to swap, I know the 18's go for more.
