^ The current update from VW is any order that was placed on the system before the 1st of December, and registed before end of Feb.
Great thread :smiley: Nice to see all those GTIs without the ghastly Monzas (thanks for putting mine in pole position, BTW :wink:) I don't understand why VAG produce so many beautiful wheels, but force the 'unique' Monza style on would-be GTI owners. If I hadn't been able to change my wheels, it would probably have put me off ordering the car all together.
Yes, I think they are that bad [/application_chair_non-Monza club]
The monza shadows do nothing for me but the monza 17s will do for winter wheels :evil:
Rondell 0036 in 8x18 ET 50Can anyone tell me if the second picture is solid black or pearl paint and also what wheels are on this car.Solid black and i cannot tell you the answer to the other question as the website i stole the picure off is down at the moment.
I’m holding off ordering a GTI till the end of January in the hope i can get a discount
Liking the white with the R32 Alloys :wink:
looking forward to seeing how they look on a white gti! 18" or 19"?
Ive just bought some of these for my white GTI, once ive got them on will post some pics.

35mm no good for the front of a Golf really, fine for a Scirocco.
The mk6 is a funny beast as there aren't that many wheels that actually do suit it unlike the mk5 which looks great with lots of different styles and sizes. I think it's because a mk6 is a slabby looking thing with big fat bumpers. :lipsrsealed:
I like lots of those but I think I stand alone on this thread in liking my Monzas above all of them. Maybe because they're so unique to the GTi. But also being a boring old fart they're so easy to clean. It must be a nightmare cleaning those multi spoke BBSs.

Wow, I like these. Nice clean silver wheels, with no black crap on :drool:

Looking good Mr P
Are they 18s or 19s :rolleyes:

19s for FTW :grin:

I think the TD Pro Race 1.2's work better on the silver than the VWR19s :shocked:
Ah ok. can you spec this on a gti then?

19's for show, 18's for go :laugh:
^^^ Behind your massive wheels yes :tongue:, but for the money they are plenty of other OEM solutions out there that are cheaper and just as effective :smiley:
^^^ It's not all in the size :laugh: But still the VWR ones are pretty big (352mm compared to 312mm on the stock GTI brakes, plus 6 pots vs. 1) and have one of the thickest disc's I have seen on an aftermarket kit (great for dissipating heat).
So for the money I think them paired with a set of Mk5 R32's or Audi S3 rears could make a great setup (that's my plan any way). :smiley:
Time for some shameless pic whoring, here are my new Volkswagen Racing TD Pro Race 1.2's :smiley:

My GTI will not arrive until mid April ( one hopes) However I have ordered a set of Vision 18's from the VW accessary brochure, I think they will look great with the Pearl Black paint work.
Yea :sad:I have heard a few guy's saying that on here , Also read a guy who seen them on a golf in the show room and thought they looked fantastic. :grin: at twelve hundred quid plus the tyres I can only hope they look good.
Seen a picture of a red Golf somewhere on this forum with them which I have to agree did not look good , but to me they looked as if they could have done with a good clean. Personally I think they look very sporty that's the reason I went for them.
Will up load pictures when the car arrives.
I'm putting Goodyear FI's on the Visions mostly because up in Scotland we get more than our fair share of rain and the F1's are great in the wet and dry.

Was in Glasgow recently. Freezing rain, snow, you name it. Wonderful resturants and very warm and friendly people as always. Stayed at Langs. Loved it.
Hope you are 100% sure of your choice. I like the Topaz 18" wheels. Easy too keep clean!
The tyre choice is very important for those severe weather conditions in Scotland. Goodyear tyres are excellent. Developed in Germany, I think.
Langs is a good stylish hotel. Whenever you are up in Glasgow and have spare time drop me a personal message and I will meet up with you for a beer as I'm not too far from there. I am in the offshore industry so might be away,then again might be home.Yea :sad:I have heard a few guy's saying that on here , Also read a guy who seen them on a golf in the show room and thought they looked fantastic. :grin: at twelve hundred quid plus the tyres I can only hope they look good.Was in Glasgow recently.

Seen the Visions. They don't look too good in 'real life'.
Better have the 18" Monza Shadow, 18" Talladega, 18" Vancouver or 18" Topaz wheels. Not the Visions. I think there is a picture of Visions somewhere on this thread. They look a bit 'cheap'.
Sorry.
The OZs look good Steve, maybe have 'em done over in anthracite or gloss black? They look huuuuge!
And some more different wheels: -

Just a quick test fit to help decide if am going to keep / refurb them or sell them on :undecided:
Personally I think they make the car look like a basic Golf, ie nothing special! The monzas at least scream out GTI I'm happy withe the look of my monzas.
I think thats why I hate monzas so much.

You know what?
The 18" Monzas are great looking wheels but do not suit my Tornado Red GTi.
As I can't change the car or want to spend extra money on wheels, I just have to accept this sad situation or slash my wrists! But first I will check my life insurance policy!
PS: I know I have left myself wide open!
You know what?Yeah you have, both you and Gizzy coming out of the closet in one day!!! (see my Interlagos thread for details!)

Sorry we had to politely refuse! :laugh:
Wow! Never seen them before, remind me a bit of the montreal II's i had on my mk4 golf.
Look like 19's, are they?
Loverly, really. 19" I presume?
Car colour and wheel colour a perfect and beautiful match. :smiley:
Would not look good in Tornado Red! :sad:
My tornado red is 24 / 10 - production.
I am thinking about OZ botticell - silver / black combination 18.
You can check the picture of the GTI on the www.ozracing.de - configurator.

Yep i really like them! Did they fit straight on? Any issue's? and what offset are they?
Yep straight fit, they are 19x8.5 with a 45 offset.
Really need to be running 235 tyres as the current 225's look a little stretched for my liking.
Even with mine being lowered I have no issues with rubbing etc (despite my best efforts chucking it in to some tight mini roundabouts todays :grin:)

I'd be interested to know what you guys think of these rep wheels???One issue with this type of wheel when used in winter conditions is that it has a polished face just like the OEM Monza Shadows, and we all know what that leads to.

I'm looking for a cheap set of 18's to put winter tyres on for later in the year. Not sure what to get, or what size of tyres I'll need?
Cheers... I'll have a look into it soon, as I want to get them before the winter comes back!
Those must be brand new, never been used tyres - as they're still 'hairy' :laugh:
My other problem is finding a decent set of 18's at a reasonable price that fir properly.
How much were those tyres out of interest?

225s will be fine as long as they are proper winter compound.
You could get away with 205 or 215s on a narrower rim...but where do you get a 6.5" or 7" wide 18" wheel?
And at 17" you will run into brake clearance problems.
I'm running 225/40/18 Verdestein Wintrac Extremes on some anthracise powder-coated 8" x 18" BBS CH for winter.
(http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z72/Ess_Three/Golf%20GTI%20Mk6/IMG_0137.jpg)
so wanted them on the wheel rack ready to go before the snow comes and the tyre places run out (like they did last year!)
Lots of different alloy wheels, useful little VW link as below.... ( shame there so bloody expensive for a set of four :sad:).

Winter wheels for a Golf R from VW are listed as optinal extras in other countrys are as follows
Alloys "Meribel" 6 J x 17 with 205/50 R 17 tyres.
Winter wheels for the GTI are listed as 6 J x 16 205/55 R 16 on the German configurator. I picked up a brand new set of 17" VW Exis wheels the other day. Just need to save up for the winter tyres now!
Was there a problem getting hold of them last winter? I was hoping to hold on until late October before buying
I'm surprised 17s will go over the R's brakes - but there you go.
Was in the dealers this morning and noticed they had about a dozen different alloys mostly priced at £99 with a couple at £89.
This included Monzas and semi Monza Shadows (wasn't quite black in the holes but more like dark grey).
They also had the R wheels for this price.
All were replicas but I thought this was a good deal.
£549 for a set of 4 with tyres.
Would the dealers sell dodgy unapproved replicas?
I can only think the alloys are an old back log of stock. I wouldn't imagine the alloys are rep's but who know's with dealers these days.
It sounds like a great deal though (one which I never seem to stumble upon down my way :cry:). What other alloys did they have out of interest. Did they have any 18" black detroit monza's for sale?
and the photoshopped alloys on this look very risque for VW, but I like :kiss:

I think those wheels are growing on me... they look great!! That first picture that shows off the sunroof is also a great shot. I do like them in Silver but a slightly off silver (darker) colour would possibly look good too. :cool:

Yes they are VMR v710's, and yes these are available in 18's and 19's :nerd:

You really cannot justify it, I agree. It's good to dream. Monza Shadows are just as fabulous. :smiley:
The way I see it now is, that at this rate, fewer and fewer GTi owners will have cars shod with Monza Shadows. How the tables would have turned! :evil:

Just swapped my Monzas today (front to back). My God that was hard work - they are so heavy! :shocked:
I'll ask/pay my dealer next time.
(I know some say to keep the tyres with most tread at the rear but that will never make sense to me on a FWD car when I don't drive like a nutter much of the time. I find front traction and braking more important than worrying about the rear swinging out).
Anyway, while the wheels were off I gave them all a good clean inside and it just got me thinking what a brilliant design they are. Quite easy to clean with a wheel brush and a sponge while they're on the car and they still look so good. Some of the straight spoked wheels can be an absolute pain to clean.
You will eventually come to the realisation that you can't beat the Monza look, you can then start saving money :laugh:It's the VMR V701 alloys that I like but I just cannot justify £1000 at present. :sad:Those VMR V710 alloys are really finger-licking good :drool: in silver and gun metal!

He blames me for a possible 3rd GTi purchase, so a bit of tit-for-tat is in order. Remember Geoff's car was delayed and I might have been a bit unsympathetic at the time. So he has somehow waved his black magic wand on my diffuser thus delaying its painting for nearly 5 months! Therefore, I BLAME HIM! :grin:
All verylogisticallogical! :rolleyes:
I now really like the Interlagos wheels in anthracite on the GTi.

I don't like the style of these wheels much. However, in anthracite they look superb!
That would get my vote. :smiley:
Try to get a grey to match the plastic in the front bumper/rear diffuser.

I can't see any prices on there website but they do come in 7"x17" 7.5"x18" and 8"x19".
They are made by emotionIt is a shame the 19s only come in a ET35 unlike the 18" which also come in an ET48
http://www.emotion-wheels.de/summer_wheels.html?rid=11
The offset is a bit too low on the 19's for the Golf IMHO
That will be each.
Jimble, you don't need to buy new wheels as you have beautiful 18" Monza Shadows. :wink:

Most of them are indeed very super, but you know what they say about money and taste.....I don't mind lying in my freshly dug hole, I can sit here and ponder ugly copies of VWR wheels best suited to Japanese cars that go out of date by the time you've driven home from the dealership.

It basically says they're 198 Euro each.
The spokes stick out near the rim and no matter how big your rim protectors are they ain't going to do squat. :lipsrsealed:
Only if you can find me a set of equally mint Monza Shadows for similar money!I think we should have a seperate thread on here for 'Asker & Amanda's next sets of wheels' we can then all chip in with suggestions and counter suggestions.

Redleg I was told by the dealer that the talledegas could not be put on a Gti when its being built.
Anyone found any R line alloys on a stock mark 6? I've been hunting for ages! Looking to put these on mine but unsure for sizes.. 18" I think will be to small and 19" dont know if they look stupid..Do you mean the Tallawhatnots? There's a set on ebay for a grand last I looked. 19s will look too big without the fat GTI/D bumpers IMO.
Or just fit them with the winter tyres and fit them to one side of the car to allow photos to be taken.

(http://i828.photobucket.com/albums/zz206/Rolex62/car.jpg)So do i but not at over £550 a wheel each new. Secondhand ones are not cheap either and 99.99% of them are damaged or repaired. When you can get BBS VZ for ~£150 a wheel and they look very similar to the VW pascara Ed30 wheels its hard to go for the unknown quantity/history thats the secondhand VW Pascara's.
My old Ed30 alloys still look good :wink:

Ok just asked for a price from VW for a set of 16" Atlanta wheels as per the Golf SE and whilst they're happy to quote ( I won't put the figure here to save everyone draining their keyboard from all the tea they'd inadvertantly spit our when reading the figure) but they're comment was:Why not just pick up a cheap set of 17'' Monzas from the classifieds? Even if they're a bit scabby it doesn't matter as you could always get them powdercoated. There are always cheap sets of 17'' Monzas knocking around (unless you're actually looking for a set I guess!!)
"I have looked into the fitting of 16" wheels scenario and all my systems indicate that 16" wheels are not suitable for the GTD, GTI or Golf R the GTD's are fitted with sports suspension etc, where as the golf SE, S, TWIST etc have standard suspension."
He then goes on to quote 17" Meribels as per the winter program.
Whats your thoughts Wheel disciples?
Why not just pick up a cheap set of 17'' Monzas from the classifieds? Even if they're a bit scabby it doesn't matter as you could always get them powdercoated. There are always cheap sets of 17'' Monzas knocking around (unless you're actually looking for a set I guess!!)
I'll start another thread for you winter wheel wanabees to save clogging this one up with junk.
Ok just asked for a price from VW for a set of 16" Atlanta wheels as per the Golf SE and whilst they're happy to quote ( I won't put the figure here to save everyone draining their keyboard from all the tea they'd inadvertantly spit our when reading the figure) but they're comment was:He wants to look harder as theres an official 16" steel winter wheel listed on ETKA for the GTI/GTD. The R needs bigger wheels as it has bigger brakes.
"I have looked into the fitting of 16" wheels scenario and all my systems indicate that 16" wheels are not suitable for the GTD, GTI or Golf R the GTD's are fitted with sports suspension etc, where as the golf SE, S, TWIST etc have standard suspension."

Yes, yes and yes.
Yes, yes and yes.
......and I'll doube those yes's...! :smiley:

Wheels are a highly personal choice but if I had to recommend one wheel design it'll have to be BBS CK's since I still haven't met anyone who didn't like them on a GTI. The design of the CK's just seem to have the right "roundness/edgyness" ratio to fit the look of the Golf. Also getting the right offset is critical.

I'm thinking of possibly getting a set of oz ultraleggers or superleggers LM's as i can get a good deal.
has anyone went from 18" monza's to decent light weight wheels (a la team dynamics/oz etc) and can you feel the difference?
18" monza is 13kg and an 18" OZ UL weighs 8kg. thats a pretty big difference.
i love the way the monza shadows look but they're pretty damn heavy!

Those are the ones with the bell end shape between the spokes. Looks like 5 horses tally wackers on a shiny plate.
I like those :cool:You like the wheels or just a fan of horses knobs, Penguin?
You thinking of treating yourself?depends on price i can get them for. The vision ones are not to bad a price but im not that great a fan of those. These ones that are used on the addidas addition maybe a bit too expensive.

Geoff, you'll have retired by the time you actually settle on a wheel that you're going to actually buy!Im just listing wheels at the moment.
Mind you I went through about seven sets before I actually found two designs that I actually wanted to settle down with and marry.

Get the Serrons - they look even better in person :cool:
snoopy;
i know these aren't OEM wheels but these look similar to the adidas edition and are audi RS replicas. much cheaper than the OEM wheels. even if they're not very good qua lit for theta sort of money who cares?

also revolution have a lot of VW/Audi replica wheels in stock cheap. maybe worth a look.
think there called Serron from the adidas GTI

I will answer myself...ohhhh this looks the bizzzzzzzzz :evil:(http://files.vau-max.de/images/2011/05/golf-6-gti-editon-35-mit-19-zoll-vw-felge-2.jpg)
I am on a roll......will contact the dealer on monday.... :laugh:
That looks great, doesn't seem to be many owners using this site with black cars.most are out driving them :evil:
Mine will be carbon grey ....................again... :smiley:.
I wonder if those wheels are black or anthracite.....
I had thought of having the Glendales on my black ED35 but I'm glad i stuck with the Silver 'Watkins Glen' :cool: alloys and they do suit the car but what a s**t name for them though :embarassed:
Although it is a non Monza thread...are there 19 inchers available.
If so any driving experience with them...
I guess in the end it will be a choice for me between Monza (18 or 19 inch)
and Glendales (19 inch) :cool:
I'm told the optional 19-inch Glendale alloys cannot be ordered in conjunction with a sunroof on the GTI because of a weight restriction on the model's front axle.
I'm told the optional 19-inch Glendale alloys cannot be ordered in conjunction with a sunroof on the GTI because of a weight restriction on the model's front axle.
Today the dealer phoned and stated that those Glendales would not look nice (his opinion) on my carbon grey GTI.
Reason they are high gloss black....
Instead he advised (if I wanted different alloys) the look-a-like namely the 18 or 19 inch version of the Audi Rotor alloys...they are grey so more of a match.
I am not good at all in photoshop...can anybody (if it is not too much trouble) do something with this pic...
Anyway this gives you an idea...(http://www.audi.co.uk/content/dam/audi/production/Models/A3/RS3Sportback/Content/Images/exterior_alloy_wheels_01.png)

How do you afford two sets of very expensive wheels??
rimming to pay for rims? :kiss:
:grin:
where the hell do you keep them?!!If you had space you would just fill it up, same as i have :embarrassed: Now have so much stuff to sort out :undecided:
ive got a brand new monza shadow in the baby's wardrobe as i literally have nowhere to store anything!

Got the OZs cheap off the other forum and got them powder coated :smiley:
I had them on last winter and it saves all that nasty salt and crap going on the BBSs and I would cry if I hit a kerb with them on in the snow :cry:
I am a male escort :rolleyes: (wishfull thinking )
The Non Monza thread hasn't been added to for a while ( you lazy gits ) so I thought I'd add these 'Enkei EKM3 alloys' to the list. They look spot on imo on this Mk5 :cool: What do you guys think?

I would love to see these wheels on a Candy White MK6
I think a little bit of sex wee came out :grin:
apologies if these have already been mentioned, but I'd like to see a set of R8 wheels on a mk6 gti...

that offset is way off. looks crap IMO
like the style of the wheels but reps are hit and miss. lots on ebay though so easy to get hold of
got a real itch to try these on the 35 at the moment
(http://drivingspirit.com/storage/volkswagen/golf/vw-golf-gti-pirelli-wheels.jpg)
they are the mk5 GTI Pirelli wheels
This looks more like it...

What widths and offsets are you gents running with,Can anyone answer the above ?
Will I get away with an 8.5J, ET45 (i.e 6mm less inner clearance, 19mm less outer) ??
Thanks in advance.
Stock Monzas are 7.5" wide and have an offset of 51mmGreat thanks for the info.
You'll get away with 8" width up to around ET45 running the standard 225/40/18 tyres.
I did run ET41 on mine for a while though which didn't catch but that was on standard suspension, if lowered it might be a bit too close to the arch.
8.5 would be a VERY tight fit and it depends on if you like the stretch look.When you say tight fit are you talking about the tyre fitting on the rim or wheel arch ?
I'm not a fan but then again I'm old and untrendy :whistle:
A bit of both really!Hmm I think I should just stick with 18's with 8" width though 19's are tempting.
9.5 will need camber and possible arch rolling I'd think, never mind the tyre stretch.
Have been looking at getting some Team Dynamics wheels to replace the stock Monzas on my Mk6 GTI. Anyone have any opinions on them?
I've already found a couple for sale but are 5x100s mountings and I've read that the Mk6 is 5x112, anyone have any idea on whether they would be an okay fit? Everything else seems right.. 18x8 and 225/40 tyres.
Thanks in advance.
