A wee bit premature, but I've finally got my winter set of wheels sorted out...... so I can ( hopefully ) keep my Monza II's in pristine condition.
I've brought a genuine set of mint scirocco interlagos 18"s with tyres that have only done 3K. I brought them off a guy on the scirrocco forum for £600 notes. :smiley:
Maybe not to everyones taste but I think they will look fairly good on my GTI..... I've always liked the look of them on FrogGTI's car ever since I saw the pictures posted on here.
Ideally I would have liked a set of BBS black CH's but I couldn't afford those to be honest.
I will of course be posting photos in the near future.... :cool:
-
Glad to hear it mate... look forward to seeing the pics.
Congrats and sounds like a good deal
-
I don't think I've seen a white golf on these wheels before.
The pictures will be good.
-
Cheers guys, will definatly post some pics soon :smiley:

Congrats, best wheels ever :wink: I bet you won't want to take them off come the spring. BTW, why do you need winter wheels/tyres in Sussex? :shocked:
-
Eww, what a horrible alloy :laugh: :sick:

Found a nice pic of a MK6 on interlagos alloys...... Now I'm really looking forward to getting these wheels on my car next week :wink:

Hmmm .... not too sure if they suit the GTi .... have to see them in the flesh. Oh well, you've got half a 'rocco now. :smiley:
-
A white standard golf has them not far from me.
They have also lowered the car and looks really smart.
I certainly think the wheels suit the car.
-
I think they look smart on a standard mk6 but for me the GTI should be sitting on GTI wheels.
The GTI is the only car in the world to get Monza variant wheels... so I'm keeping mine on Monzas. Although I might consider going to 18 inches if I find a set of genuine wheels at the right price (I'm wary of replicas).
That having been said ETTO and the car in the pic you posted looks absolutely brilliant. Perfect for that colour also. :smiley:

Your quite right mate, Monza's are the best on the GTI, however for me I just fancied a different set for a change/winter etc......
On the Rocco forum where I brought my wheels from there is another guy with a genuine set for sale with tyres (and I know he will take £600 for them)....

I just need to find a way of squashing the back down on my GTI and there you go I'll have a rocco.... :smiley:

O please don't do that, that is the worst feature of the 'rocco.
I am sure they will look the business. For me, Monza Shadows or the wheels Neil or Es_Three have, though 19" will be too dangerous for town driving and my accident prone nature. :rolleyes:
At £600 you got a bargain. :smiley:

Yeh sometimes I look at the rocco's and I think, yeh smart, love them, wouldn't mind one...... then you go and look at it from the back and think..... no way I don't fancy that, its ugly.
Its a bit like some of my x's then :smiley:
-
Well there here.... my interlagos alloys got delivered today :wink:
If I get a chance tomorrow I'll whip the monza shadows off and see what the new wheels look like.
I quickly offered them up to the car this evening and I'm fairly confident they will look pretty good. Already though I'm thinking they may look possibly even better in a charcoal / anthracite finish against a CW.
I shall take some pic's and post them on here for your valued comments..... god help me!! :smiley:

Or just get the optional 19" Luganos off the scirocco :evil: :smiley: :cool:

I really like them. :cool:
-
Supoib :cool: I must say they make your GTI look very Scirocco-like as it's in white (no bad thing, though...)
-
A resounding NO. Looks cheap.
Go back straightaway to the Monza Shadows.
-
I like them better as it does not look like the 2 gazillion other white Golfs/GTis out there.
-
Thanks guys, I'm really pleased with them. They look much better on than I expected. I'll try and get some better pics.
p.s. it was hard work getting those wheels on this morning.... I'm glad I went and brought a decent trolley jack first. I felt like I was work experience in Kwik-Fit :smiley:
-
I really dislike them without any reservation.
Makes the car look like a giant magimix. :sick:
-
A resounding NO. Looks cheap.
Go back straightaway to the Monza Shadows.
am1w - Its a shame you don't like them but please don't fret my dear... the monza's shadows are safely tucked away in the garage awaiting a nice polish and a few coats of wax.
-
My dear MAW73.
I am so happy to hear this. The Monza Shadows are probably the most beautiful and unusual of wheels. So what if most GTis are shod with them.
Sometimes, trying to be different is not always a good thing!

I'm not trying to be different, I just fancied a change and have always liked the rocco wheels and the look of FroGTI's car. The Monza shadows are great wheels but to think there the only wheel that will suit a GTI is a bit blinkered IMO. But each to there own and thats what this forum is all about. You might not like them but that your opinions and thats cool with me. So come on now lets have a little cyber man hug and get over this... you know you love the wheels really... :smiley:
-
I think they look fantastic :cool:

Thanks R32UK
Another couple of pics then....

You're entitled to your opinion, but in my book the Monza Shadows are among the ugliest wheels ever designed.

:grin: + cyber hug with pleasure.
Honestly, I don't like the wheels in comparison to the Monza Shadows. As wheels go, they are nice, but that's that.
As they are, in silver, they would look better on darker coloured cars like Snoopy's or Froggy's.
On your white car, a definite no as there is too much bling - a white car + silver wheels with a million spokes! Yuck.
Even worse would be a white car with white wheels. :sick:
However, if these wheels were painted in anthracite or even black, the overall look would be quite fantastic on your white car and a worthy match for the Monza Shadows. Possibly even better. IMO. :smiley:
-
I actually like white cars with white wheels :embarassed: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=155544.10 (apart from the stretch on those ones :sick: I don't like stretch )

Agree with that. The wheels in silver look better against a carbon grey. I shall definatly get them finished in anthracite at some point now :wink:
i.e. like the colour on this white A3 http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showthread.php?83609-Ibis-White-S3-Black-styling-pack

With that, the 'wow' factor will return with a vengence! :smiley:
Quick question: Do you have ACC on your totally specced car?
-
No mate, no ACC. My car was x demo so it came with a good spec. Buying x demo saved a good few £'s and the long delivery time on a new one (would definatley do that again next time).
-

Is it loaded or what? Wonderful spec. Smart buy. :smiley:
The car will look the business with the anthracite wheels. Black would also look amazing, though these don't seem to be very photogenic.
How much do you think it will cost to 'anthracite' them? Can't wait for the pictures.
-

You're entitled to your opinion, but in my book the Monza Shadows are among the ugliest wheels ever designed.
After seeing thousands of alloys I keep coming back to the 18 inch Monza's I think it is a beautiful alloy really belonging to the GTI and you hardly see the modification crowd changing them therefore it can be called a succesfull design, in my book it is as good/comparable as the "Fuchs" on the Porsches...
-
O BTW MAW .... I would love to 'anthracite' my Monza Shadows too! :cool:

Amen to that Erik. :smiley:
However, I think when MAW 'anthracites' his wheels, they will look stunning. :smiley:
What do you think of Monza Shadows in anthracite?

I also visit a german GTI forum and its rare to see the monzas as those guys are into modifications.

Yeah. Our German friends love to mod everything with a vengence, though much of it is in poor taste. :sick:
-
....for me all the more the reason to stick with them.... :evil:
Why do you not take the english and dutch fora as info....the end result would be quite different and don't forget..
If You Do Not Change Your Alloys You Do Not Write About It :laugh:
I just came back from holiday and bought there a dozen car magazines also some about tuning.....really they all should be in prison.... :drool:
-
I seriously thought about changing my monzas for something else at one time, but following loads of good comments from people regarding the looks I decided to stay with them.
I am so pleased I did as there is no other alloy out there which looks as good either at standstill or in movement.
I am sorry but I really don't like the interlagos on the GTI it makes it look like any old Golf, but heck ETTO.
Gizzy

If I do not like my alloys they GO no matter what the others say.....
This time it took me a few seconds to decide to have the optional 18 inch Monza instead of the 17 inch standard alloys (which I had for 4 years).
The standard alloys are okay but nowhere near the optional ones....(I think we call them Detroits)....with their black horse-shoes and black inner wheel they clean a lot easier as well...... :evil:
-
Amen again to that Erik!

You think they are easier to clean... try black monzas :smiley:! That's the main reason I got them black (apart from looking cool) as it takes a quick wipe with a sponge and a spray of "black shine" and they look brill :grin:
(although I do have a soft spot for the Monza shadows. They are without doubt the nicest wheels I have ever seen on any make of car)
-
....now why do I not believe that.... :wink:
Even with the Monza's it takes me about 5 minutes at least to clean each wheel....
I spray the alloy cleaner outside and inside the wheel to get the graphite to come loose after that I start to clean the inside wheel to get the black shining look back (to give it that wonderful 3D appearance back) after that I brush the red brake clean and the last part the outer wheel I clean each horse shoe to get it shining and last I do the shiny front. I use a thin sponge and a brush and lots of soft kitchen paper constantly applying water from the garden hose.
Sometimes I do a quick wipe in between but it will leave dull horse shoes and the brake is not nicely visible etc etc....that will not do on such a nice car.... :laugh:
To clean the standard wheels took me quite a bit longer.... :sad:
-
Talking of new wheels......... some great work here, see link below from the 'Septic Tank' MK6 forum
http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7729
Love the LED's but I'm not keen Lorinser alloys (which probably cost a small fortune).

It's not that I dont like those Roc alloys.... well ok I'm telling lies I really dont, its just they do nothing in the slightest for the GTI. It's like when you've just been to a nightclub and all the lookers are gone and all thats left is the ugly f**k*r still at the bar with her fat spotty pal. You know its ok to pump the b!tch as long as no-one finds out, but f**k me you wouldnt want to introduce her to your mates.

You are sometimes wickedly spot on! But I don't quite understand why you need to pump a rubber doll that's full of holes?
I must admit those wheels look a bit odd on the GTi. Gives the car an old widowed woman look.
But once he gives them a bit of colour, I am sure they'll make his car look a bit younger and alive again! Anyway, they'll only be used in sh!tty conditions.
MAW is a smart man and has kept his Monza Shadows. :smiley:

I think you guys are been a bit harsh.

Well Maw might be getting a bit of a Maw-ling just now (sorry couldn't resist) but think of all the praise he will get in summer when he tells us he puts the Monza's back on.
I am looking forward to seeing them when they are darkened.

Unfortunately, the awful weather lasts longer than decent summer weather in the UK. So for most of the time his car will look sadly lacking in the beauty department with those magimix wonders! :evil:

What wheels are you going dare change yours for then...?
p.s. I could sell you a nice set of interlagos alloys ( 2 careful owners and all that ) :wink:
-
I think they look good.
The Luganos look awesome too.
I don't see anything wrong with some modification. Not everyone is going to like what you do to the car but as long as you are happy with it, that is all that matters.
I have changed the wheels, lowered the car and sprayed the front splitter. I'm sure there are people out there that think I am mad. The LED rears seem to be accepted though :smiley:

Well here's a couple of different wheel finish colours I could try on my interlagos winter alloys..... Obvioualy I've done these in photoshop and I'm by no means an expert in using this software. But it gives a bit of an idea how anthracite and black may look.
As now

Anthracite Finish

Black Finish
(http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab242/WITHCOMBEM/NEW%20INTERLAGOS%20WHEELS/newwheels3black.jpg)
Personally I like the silver alloys on a darker car like FroGTI carbon Gray GTI but I want to reduce the silver look on my CW GTI. Any thoughts?
p.s. Having run with the wheels on this week there growing on me. I know there not to every ones taste but I like them as a winter wheel anyway!

Anthracite would be good. :smiley:

Yeh his got a set of AC Schnitzer (Type IV BiColour) alloys on his 3 series. His had all sorts of problems with them last winter with all the potholes. The outer rim lip of the alloy seems to deform really easily if you hit a pothole.

Does your Dad not have that white BMW with the funny wheels?
Yeh his got a set of AC Schnitzer (Type IV BiColour) alloys on his 3 series. His had all sorts of problems with them last winter with all the potholes. The outer rim lip of the alloy seems to deform really easily if you hit a pothole.
They looked a bit delicate for our roads. Had a feeling this could happen.
Poor guy must be so fed-up.
I think my next 'car' will be a tank with an operative gun!
btw: What do you think of the 'beard' painting? :undecided:
If you get a tank next you could stay with German manufacturer and get a Panzer. The Panzers are great when your in a hurry and if you take it abroad you will get across France in no time. The only downside is you would be going down the diesel route like the GTD's :laugh:
Yes I'm into the beard painting (don't tell the Mrs). Already had my beard painted (by our Chipsaway friend Tony Daher) as it had a scuff mark and a couple of stone chips. In hindsight if I had know about the beard painting mod I would have got it painted in a different colour.

Def won't be a 'tiger in your tank' with derv! Sorry Steve30!
Saw a silver GTi with a beard. Prefer un-bearded. But that's my personal taste.
Just one more thing: Gloss black wheels could also look very fetching with a white car. In the flesh I think they would be the business. Very stealth-like. :smiley:
-
MAW: On second thought, not black. Stick with the anthracite.
Just seen the grey 'rocco across the road, black would look quite awful.

I look forward to the response for when I change my wheels :laugh:
Already have the wheels :wink: :lipsrsealed:
You sly devil! :cool:

How come you have a 6 cd autochanger with the RNS510, I thought because it has a hard drive you don't get the autochanger.

Yeh it's a strange one that, my car was x demo and that's what is came with. Funnily enough, I do use the autochanger a fair bit (but disapointed that the track name don't display for what ever reason).

MAW: Your car is loaded to the rafters. But you don't have my favourite option: ACC. Simply brilliant. :evil:
Gizzy: Yours is loaded to the Heavens! :wink: :rolleyes:
Mine: Just lightly loaded. :sad:
Those 18" wheels (standard silver) on the grey 'rocco look quite dishy. :drool: The car is fully loaded. Nothing seems left out. Beautifully made. Must trace the owner ASAP and cadge a drive. :grin:

But what if you wanted a sharper turn in, stiffer damping and better steering feedback for when you are in the mood?
ACC = 3 set-ups in one. Win!

Yeah but Wolfgang is a beautiful looking boy and is pretty well loaded imo, I think that if you opted for ACC you have one of the best options anyway, so you can't go wrong.

R32UK: I think I now know which wheels you may have bought! I have narrowed them down to 2 types!
I have had a good troll through the Non-Monza Wheel Thread .... I like both types ...... :grin:

Have you decided on winter rubber yet ?
I have Vredstein Wintrac 4 Extreme for my ML - very good tyre.
Get them now before the prices rise in winter.

I had never really noticed the side spoiler before as on my car it is roughly the same colour.
Really stands out on Candy White, not a good thing though, from some of those angles looks as like an afterthought.
Just IMHO

Your car looks so much nicer in the pics with the monzas. With those other things on it looks like an ordinary Golf. Sorry.

Hinge and Bracket are at it again. Too much time looking at 2D photos and not enough in the real world. Scirocco wheels look nothing like base model Golf wheels. They fill the arches much better than Monzas do due to their lower offset and also have a nice sporty contour in profile. Golf GTIs and Sciroccos have shared wheel styles since the 1970s.
As much as I love the Monzas which have their own heritage now, they are just as common on Non GTIs as they are on pukka GTIs due to the amount of people with GTIs who upgrade their wheels (again, something that's been hapening since the '70s), and flog them to Diesel owners, plus the numerous replicas which are sold all over ebay.
End of Sunday surmon. Amen. :smiley:

Amen Exonian for the Sunday sermon. Delightfully logical and beautifully said. But passion and logic are not very good bed fellows and I am passionate about the Monza Shadows.
Amen again! :grin:

Thanks for sticking up for us Exonian..... I think its fair to say there’s only a small number of people who don't actually like them (those with a Monza fetish). Without seeing them in the flesh its a bit short sighted to be to critical imo. I'm my cars worst critic and would happily admit that they are not the best wheels in the world, but they do look pretty good.
p.s. I'm glad my wheels have caused so much debate and thanks for all the good + bad comments. I'll post some more pictures in the future just to upset the interlagos haters..!! :smiley:
All the best guys MAW73

Hi MAW. I don't hate the Interlagos wheels at all. On a 'rocco with 19" size they look quite stunning. I see them everyday on that car. However, I personally feel they don't quite suit the GTi as much as the Shadows. You've got both so have covered all bases! Just show us pictures in your signature of the car with the Shadows too. Fair enough?
-
Totally agree with that :smiley:

True to form ( and as per the recent nick name Asker gave me ) I'm selling my interlagos alloys with tyres as per the advert below.

Maybe a nice set of winter wheels for someone on here???
