Title: 18" Monza II Wheels - Just bought a GTi and after some
Post by: devilt on 22 January 2010, 21:58: I've joined the club and bought a GTi today, one of my main preferences when looking for one was the 18" Monza II wheels. The car I bought was at a bargain price so it came with the standard 17" wheels.

Therefore I'm after a set of 18" Monza II's, apart from ebay is there anywhere else I can find a genuine set? I see ebay has a lot of replica types, are these any good?

The current 17's on the car are unmarked with virtually brand spanking new tyres on them. I will sell these once I find a set of 18's.

Thanks

£800 - £1000 I would have thought if tyres are virtually unused ???

Yep on the case right now. Any ideas how much I could sell the unmarked 17" Monza's for with virtually brand new tyres?

Also those MK6 Shadows, do they have exactly the same width, offset and stud arrangement as the MK5 Monza II's.?

I'm on the case with the Shadows at the moment, hopefully I can get them, if not I'll settle for a set of Monza II's.

Will drop you a PM once I've got to 10 posts................now what complete gibberish can I talk about!

Any feedback of the Shadows on a black Mk5 three door would be fab as well.

Post by: devilt on 24 January 2010, 13:57: Have managed to get those 18" Monza Shadows sorted. Can someone please tell me if I will need different bolts to whack them on the car or will the standard bolts from the 17" Monzas be suitable?

Thanks

Post by: devilt on 29 January 2010, 22:44: Righteeeeeeho. Got my Monza Shadows and going to fit them in the morning. Does anyone know if I can use the same bolts from the 17's to stick the Shadows on?

Post by: Gene Hunt. on 30 January 2010, 11:55: I would think so mate.I changed my 17'' monza to a set of edition 30 alloys & used the bolts from the 17'' monza with no problem. :smiley:
