you could buy a set of reps 5X100, ET35 8" x 18" for less than £300 on Ebay

less hassle than a refurb and costly adapters

buying any single wheel on ebay would run the risk of it being a rep/wrong width, ET any way

just my opinion of cource :wink:

LOL  -  He's selling them as genuine Monza II's  :grin:  which are definitley not ET35  :rolleyes: :laugh: :grin:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220345240820&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:VRI

Believe me if they are genuine they will be ET51, so he's either thick or a liar !! :laugh: :grin:

Ask him to check the back of the wheels again - they do look genuine in the photo

You can then get them refurbed professionally to look something like Greenouses here, or whatever you like  : :wink:

A nice set of custom painted Monzas II's for much less than a £1000

They were the subject of another thread ... not my wheels ... they are Greenouse's

They cost him £100 per corner for a full refurb and paint job etc. at A1 Wheels in Wolverhampton

IMHO they are the nicest Monza II's I have seen  :evil:

Hope Greenouse won't mind me linking another photo  :drool:

I think im going to have to get mine done like that for the summer. £100 a corner isnt bad at all considering a refurb alone can be about £60.

i purchased these thinking they were genuine, after going to my dealers they confirmed they are not genuine but are very well made, light weight and maybe sourced from an aftermarket company in germany.
