Title: Who went for monza II's
Post by: gizzywizzy on 29 November 2009, 16:53
Just wondering how many of us who already have our cars and those who are still waiting actually opted for monza II's.

Today a white 3 door parked beside mine but it had 17's on and to be honest although a cracking looking car it was wasted on those alloys.

Obviously I opted for them and I know Rolfe didn't and she is more than happy with her car, so just out of interest who did?

Standard 17".

Faster, more comfortable, cheaper tyres and you save £300 or so.

Some say the shadows look better depending on the car but I think we've been through this before.....

originally 17"

now 18"


And just a word of note to those of you who think the ride on 17" is better... i find the 18" a little bit more planted :lipsrsealed: :rolleyes:

Neither. I think the 17 & 18" Monzas are fugly, so I opted out all together and got Interlagos.

There was a review of the GTi in the Sunday Herald - the car pictured was silver, with Monza Shadows.

The reviewer loved the car but was pretty rude about the appearance of the wheels.

Rolfe.

I love my Monza 2's they make the car for me.

I have the Monza's and am very pleased with the way that they compliment the car.

They look the nuts and are very easy to clean.

I can see why people why would not like them though. They are quite agressive looking and very 'dark' unlike the normal alloy look.

i have the monza II 18's.  the car is totally ruined imo with the 17's - what's the point of having a lovely car if you're going to dress it with small alloys.  18's make the car!   :smiley:

If I'd have ordered the car new I'd have specced 18s. I'm not patient enough to wait for a new car order so got a pre-reg'd one with as low a spec as I could find, which came with 17s.
I already had a set of 18s and have since bought another, so I have 3 sets with mine!

I just realised why i have never been in love with the monza wheel design, there was always something that made me think in the back of my mind they are not VW type wheels.
I realised today why, they look like they are based on Ford!!! wheels from the 80s and 90s  :evil: They look like XR3i wheels!

Damn, when that Lambo first came out I probably thought those wheels were really cool. Now, they look like something out of the Teletubbies' house :sick:
