was in my local stealers lookers middlesbrough, and they have and offer on 4 18" detroits black with polished rim like the original ed 30 press shots for £579 all in! used to be £1200 plus, if i had 18s on mine already i might be tempted :drool:
-
Are you certain that they are not reps?
-
I would be interesting to know if they are genuine VW or reps. Should be the real thing but some dealers do sell copys.
-
i would think all the wheels the stealers sell are genuine arnt they?????, if not im suprised and wouldnt be very happy paying the original £1200 plus for reps :angry:
-
That sounds too good to be true :undecided:
-
our local dealer sells cheap crap replicas with cheap tyres they also put them on nearly every second hand car. they really dont have a clue :sad:
-
thats shocking, if you bought a gti off them then 6 months later the laquer started lifting what would they do???, plus are reps the correct offset and width???, if owt happened surely you would have them over a barrel????
-
had a look at these today,look good. guy said they are not bbs wheels but genuine vw wheels, not reps????? :undecided:
said they had 10 sets & got 2 left.

No idea what he is talking about the detroit / monza wheels ARE BBS so if they are NOT BBS then they are reps, simple as . . .
-
Apart from the Ronal ones.
The early Monzas were BBS but the late ones were Ronals. There are at least two part numbers I've seen for the black Detroits too so they could be BBS and Ronal too.
I'll let you know when I get chance to check.

Well, to those who doubted s111 hoc, you can apologise to him now!!!
I've now got my set and can indeed confirm they are genuine BBS Detroits, or black Monza IIs depending on your viewpoint. Bargain. :cool:
Thank you s111 hoc, I've been after a set of these for ages. :smiley:
And thanks also to Lookers parts guys, helpful isn't the word, excellent service. :smiley:
-
Excellent stuff, might contact my local sytner to see if they have any similar deals (doubt it though)
-
In that case what a bargain of a find, well done that man :cool:
-
Nice one :cool: Looking forward to pics :cool:

Yes I must say what a bargin, I rang the same dealer to day and they still have 1 set left to clear 570 quid, I was very very tempted.
I went for a test drive today mk6 GTI and was very impressed much more refined and a lovely to drive, its decision's decision's what to do???? They offered me 18,000 for mine 58plate Edition30. Cant make my mind up?? steve30 :rolleyes: :smug:

glad some one got as set on here was starting to dowt myself!!!, which lookers did you get them from??.. wish i could afford a set :cry:

The one in Boro. I just phoned the branch you posted up, and if they'd have been sold out I'd have phoned the other Lookers branches. My local dealer is in a different group, I phoned them first to see if it was a general VW promo but they said no.
Lookers are probably having a clear out of mk5 accessories at the mo as they gear up for mk6 bits coming in. VW have a purge on stuff like this every so often when the model type changes. I picked up some bargain priced Evolos for my mk4 about 6 months after the mk5 GTI was launched!
-
the parts guys have always been good there but the sales staff leave a lot to be desired!!
-
Nice one :cool: Looking forward to pics :cool:
Okay, a quick photo

I'll do some more and post them up in the mk6 section when it gets a bit warmer (next April probably!)

That looks great, are they a satin black finish?
Good stuff that :afro:
