Post by: ErikGTI on 19 February 2010, 17:05: One of the very few moments that I find black Monza alloys absolutely stunning....what a nice combo here... :cool:

Post by: Casabian on 19 February 2010, 17:11: Maybe I am wrong but the photo showing the rear seems to show LED lights. Yeah nice alloys. Wouldn't have them personally though

Post by: gizzywizzy on 19 February 2010, 17:13: Personally I'm not too keen, too much black.

I know many of you hate the 18" silver monzas but I love them against the black of my car. That said, it is sitting below a coat of the white stuff at present and I don't mean milk!!

Rolfe reckons she smells Spring!! I wish! no sign of it here. Oh well guess I'd better go shovel.

Post by: p3eps on 19 February 2010, 17:37: I like it, but the 2 blacks don't match.

I think it should go back to the dealer for a warranty repair as the suspension has collapsed :grin:

Yes it is Germany and its a very popular modification to fit the R LED rear lights over there. It is also a popular option to have the GTI LEDs from the factory but they seem a much lighter colour than the ones shown on this GTI.

Post by: SilverChariot on 19 February 2010, 21:22: Look.

I thought we'd covered this in detail before.

Black wheels are just wrong - unless you're less than 20 and your name is Daz.

I still do not have a confirmation that the LEDS on the GTI differ from the LEDS on the R...the (only) difference would be a shade darker on the R.... :undecided:

Don't they have potholes or speed humps in Germany? :huh:

Has someone thrown a snow ball at a salesman and missed him, hitting the car above the offside front wheel arch btw?? :grin:

I really, REALLY, REAAALLLLYYY dislike the silver lip in these alloys. It makes the paint job look unfinished.

ETTO. Looks bodge and it reminds me of mid-90's spec Japanese car wheels. :sick:

Either have silver wheels, or black wheels that are finished. :rolleyes:

I was over in England for a few days last week and was amazed by some of the potholes I came across. Some of them needed a 4x4 to get out of :grin: I know we've all just had a $hitty winter and all, but wow, some local councils really need to pull their fingers out. I was just grateful I was in my Transit van and not the GTI with its fragile alloys!

They have filled alot of the ones near me. This mainly consisted of dumping a load of tar in them.... lasted a whole 3wks before they start to ruin the rest of the road also :undecided:

Post by: Snoopy on 07 March 2010, 15:40: actually i like that for some reason and i hate black wheels and not a great monza fan. Maybe i inhailed toomuch cement dust doing the garage floor :grin:
Title: Re: Black monza (Detroit) alloys on a black 3 door GTI.
Post by: Exonian on 07 March 2010, 16:03: Depends whether your garage is also used as a cocaine store and you get the off spillage now and again? :grin:

Main reason that looks good (apart from the rims) is that it has just the right drop and the wheels have a bit better offset than genuine ones (these are 45mm on an 8 inch wide rim) which sits them nicely in the arches. :nerd:

I suppose the black wheels absorb more heat, heat the tyres more quickly, the car gets better grip, the car gets away from all of us more quickly, saves us from seeing how REVOlting it looks and then serves a dual purpose as a hearse or a getaway car for criminals! :sick:
