Title: What are my Monzas worth
Post by: mags on 01 December 2009, 10:07
I have a set of Monza shadows from my car which have done 3500 miles with Dunlops, 2 have been very slightly kerbed right on the polished rim. I have bought a set of BBS Ch so these will be sitting in my office if not sold.

After keeping an eye on the deals going on they normally sell for ~£800 when mint and nearly new.

They are the 18's and I will try and get a picture up soon I have a picture on my phone of the worst wheel if you want to pm me your number I can text the pic the picture below has the wheel at the rear with the mark which you can poss enlarge???, both are very minor marks as if they have lightly touched a kerb, you would have to be stood 6ft from the car to see. I am thinking £600 as there are a set on ebay for  £850 one with worse kerbing.

Good choice, they will look ten times better than the ghastly Monzas. I agree with Snoopy re. mint value, but even slight kerbing is going to knock a couple of hundred off, unfortunately. FYI, I sold my brand new 17" Monzas (they were removed from the car before delivery by my dealer) for £750.

Well if only you'd have posted this up this time last week mags, I'd have probably done a deal with you for the shadows and the RCD510 as I have a mint set of CHs on my car which are coming off to fit a set of Monzas. Mind you they are 18''ers though.

Hi, I bought a 2nd hand set of 19inch CH's - could you do me a favour and tell me what should be stamped on them inside and out?....I bought them from VWR so should be ok. They are painted grey but I am going to have them done in black when I have time to drop them off........let me know on the RCD 510

If they're from VWR you won't have any worries mags, they'll be genuine ones. They've been refurbed as they've been on their demo cars so probably picked up a few scars. They'll look ace in black, especially if you leave the outer rims in silver/polished a la Black Editions.  :cool:

It'll be a month or two before I can do anything about the radio, a) I'm skint and b) the car's laid up for a few weeks this time of year

Silly question but the wheels I picked up have no centre caps so do the ones from thje Monzas fit them and can I use the same wheel bolts??

cheers

I'm not a Monza fan at all... but I think they look great with your carbon grey car above.
I'm not entirely convinced a set of black rims are going to look good with the carbon grey though  :undecided:

Some BBS wheels use VW bolts (mine take VW bolts for example but they were a special edition for Golf mkVs) however many use different bolts, and also the caps are a different size. The VW ones will be too small for the centre hole.

www.pwmotorsport.com/  is the place you want to be asking the fitment questions, Phil Walker, BBS importer and member on here.

I am going to take the wheels to be refurbed as they don't look to have been done that well and I am now set on a smoked silver colour rather than black. Has anyone used www.wheelworksuk.co.uk formally wicked wheels in crawley? they are the most convenient place for me so will probably use them.

Dropped the BBS at wheel works in Crawley to have them refurbed back to silver as the previous colour not great and the refurb was poor, I have ordered a set of Vredestein which I have not had before but have read some good reviews (previous F1 asymetrics). I will post pictures up once the wheels have returned.

My Monzas have been very lightly kerbed and they advised that not worth doing them as the damage is so minor but I may still get them done to sell on, I will see what the CH's look like and how they affectthe ride before making a decision.

Just waiting to get the CH's back and put on which will be Saturday now and then I will more than likely Ebay the Monzas, I am not going to get the 2 refurbed as they are hardly noticable 1 is v.v minor. I think that I should get £700
