Try Pristine Wheels in Milton Keynes. They have lots of experience with the Monzas and are very good.

Why are the genuine MK5 Monza II alloys so expensive?? On the MK6 pricelist the Monza II shadows are £450 as an option. I know the MK5 isn't in production but still bloomin expensive  :sad:

That doesn't mean you can buy a set for that price though as it is including not getting the 'normal' wheels.

With regard to the refurb and a mis-match, why not get all 4 done, total cost circa 200 quid. Then they are all prefect and look the same :)

Def a result mate...refurb, would thata been diamond cut, polished or what I now know they did with mine which I slightly fill and blend? Mine was so subtle it is now only since it's flaked with the bad weather that I know it was done that way.

Jv aint that cheap unless they are not being refurbed to standard polished?

one of mine was completely buggered ,had it diamond cut by some guy in Wakefield for about £60, looks really good, you really have to inspect it compared to the other to tell it has been done. infact its brighter than the originals!! can give details if interested.

Thats because you pay £450 on top of the price you pay for the standard wheels,you don`t get two sets of wheels :wink: :grin:

Please contact us to discuss volume discounts (single orders of 12+ wheels).

I wonder how many people are interested in getting wheels refurbed? I know I want to get my 4 done. (But I expect it to be hell to organise!)
