Some pictures of the GTi that I picked up last week. The 18" alloys seem to be a similar design to Monzas but are finished in a dark grey. The finish seems to be good enough to be from the factory but I haven't seen any other GTi's with them on.
What do you think?

That didn't work very well!
The 'idiots' guide to new postings obviously wasn't set at a low enough level for me.
Can somebody give me an easier way of uploading my photos please?

They look like stock Monzas? that have had a quick refurb to me.

Post us a close-up pic - We'll soon be able to tell.
I can't see any diamond-cut finish in your pics and they look (at a distance) all powdercoated (like my Monza's)
:afro:

Look like powder coated ones like Robin said. So no there not an original factory finish.
-
no
-
They look orginal i.e orginal wheel bolt covers etc.As above looks like they have had a refurb but they look fine.
-
They look quite nice actually in that darker grey.

....I got fed up with trying to keep the white worm at bay from my original oem BBS Monza 18's and so had them refurb'd and powdercoated Smoked Chrome. Slightly reluctantly because I like them so much, I'm offering them for sale as I have some lightweight OZ's.

^If they had been cheaper i would have probably bought myself a chrismas present. But once i worked out the cost of adding decent tyres, valves, fitting, the cost start running away for me as good as they are for secondhand wheels and im sure you will sell them no problem. I think i may have some northern skinflint in me been so far North :wink:
Im still not 100% sure how dark they really are as they never look the same in any of the photos. Im also not sure how they would look on a shadow blue. :undecided:

I understand, Geoff :cool:
They do tend to look different in different lighting conditions - Something which I rather like. So much so that I'm not desperate to sell them and one could end up on my bedroom wall (I have a very large bedroom!). Also, IF I decided to sell my GTI (as likely as Hell freezing over) in the not so distant future, I would probably want to put them back on the GTI and transfer my OZ's to a new car if they fitted.
