Good or bad swap? All wheels have same tread on 4 tyres on both sets of alloys.
I have these..

yeh i want peoples opinions of what they think about mk5 being on mk4. Some people think they look good, others think they dont. Its wed night the big swap so i wanna know if im doing the right thing or not.
-
If they're genuine mk5 weeks you'll need adapter.
If they are 18 inch genuine wheels swap, stick the new ones up for sale and buy ones that suit the mk4
-
there on another mk4 and there 17 inch. The boy hasnt had them long and im positive there the real deal, but are the real deals only 18s or can they be 17s?

17's and 18's on the MK5
18's have the more polished look and are the better looking wheel

And the most valuable ;)
-
what do u mean?
The tyre is rotational & should be rolling the other way - Look at the arrow at the top of the the pic. That wheel is on the N/S rear, but should be on the O/S of the car (unless you have the tyre taken off & turned around). More than likely, though, you've got a tyre on the other side which is also rotating 'backwards', in which case no need for tyre removal, just swap the wheels over! ;)
-
If they're real is he chucking in the adapters. (~£250 brand new!)
I'm guessing they are reps.
-
oh well ive never noticed, The guy that changed 2 back tyres not long ago might have done them wrong when putting bk on not sure or maybe always been tht way since i got them in november. will have a look thanks.

I think the 18's also have the black 'shadow' behind the spokes. If they're genuine Mk5 rims, then they'll only fit a Mk4 with adaptors, as the Golf 4 & 5 have different fitments (PCD). :)

well there on his mk4, he was at school with me years ago, so i do know him and hes not thhe dodgy type. It'll be a straight swap with everything im gathering, his dad got him them for xmas last year and hes said from the start hes never liked them hence the reason hes keen to swap.
-
Here you go fella, have a look through this

Winner for me as I have a set waiting to go on mine
-
Keith - partly right, mk5 17" Monza's were completely silver, then 18" were diamond cut and had grey backing
The ones in the pic from the OP are Monza Shadows from the mk6
-
thanks for that mate, i personally think there smart on mk4s and the are kinda liked from a lot of folk i guess. I like the image of them total black on the silver golf, ive got a silver one so might look into getting them black.
-
Did you do the swap then mate? Any pics?
Thinking of 17" silver Monza's for mine..
-
YES swap the wheels are lovely i have them obviously replicas but i love then, thing is though be careful with locking wheel nuts as using the wheel brace causes you to scratch the face with certain cheap sets :sad: they look awesome when clean! bit more bland when dirty.. hope this helps :smiley:
-
Did you honestly need to ask that? Thats a bloody good swap make sure you do it quickly before whatever they are smoking wears off :grin:
-

No there not mate. The ones in the OP pic has the slightly darker shade which the MK5s had as oppsosed to the full on black of the MK6 shadows.
I bet the reps he is looking to swap with look nothing like the one posted on that pic as the one in the pic is the diamond cut 18 which he isnt getting.
-
ah yeah you're right, my laptop screen made them look black lol
My reps are/were diamond cut, just a shame they always succumb to the white worm :sad:
