Title: Want new alloys or re furb AGAIN! need help...
Post by: mintycj on 10 December 2010, 02:09

i have original 18" monza 2 alloys on my Gti mk5 which i got refurbished a couple of months ago to Grey metallic from the polished silver 7.5J X 18 (they where curbed)

The problem is i don't like them on my black gti.
Red or white gti's they would be stunning..

Im considing the following but they have an offset of 45. are they ok? as i have read many forums saying stick with orginal offset of 51.

Or just get my monza's refurbed again to Monza Shadow Alloy Wheels.. I need advise!!

Is there a swap site for alloys? Do i refurb them again or do i go for the reps with offset of 45 if they fit and dont rub?
DILEMMA!!!

Refurb again IMO, the monza's will suit the mk5 better than those R replicas.

Yep refurb them again, not keen on the R reps.
