Title: Wheel Options
Post by: Pure Driving Solutions on 14 February 2014, 16:44

Thinking of ditching the 18" Shadow monzas and going for something else but I have no idea what… Anyone got any pics of what they have had done?

Have been agonising over this for months. I was leaning towards the Momo Revenge in Anthracite but they seem to work out about £1000+ with decent tyres.

I love the VMR 710's but they are so so expensive and as I keep cars for less than a year I'm trying to be more sensible.

No they are 18", the picture was taken shortly after I bought, when it was new and the suspension hadn't settled.

I see yout point. Sometimes I think they do, sometimes not.
In my mind, the CHs look bigger here:

Both being 8.0" x 18".

Both look considerably smaller than these:

Early VW Racing 8.5" x 19".


For comparison, that's the same BBS CHs on a Mk5:

...and they do look bigger on a Mk5.  :smiley:

That'll be them!

I believe there were only a few sets available - according to VW Racing, as few as 6 sets.
Neil on here had a set, VW Racing had a set on their Mk5 Thunderbunny demo car, I got a set and there are 3 other sets somewhere. I've since bought VWRs set too...and Neil sold his set.
So there are still at least 4 sets out there, other than mine.

TSW's and the VWR's look best out of those IMO. Not a fan of the CH's at all

Agreed, never been a fanboi of the CH's or the similar Pescara wheel on the Edition 30.

I saw the TSW wheels and I think there the ones. Any idea what 4 Monza 18s are worth. All perfect with good tyres.

If the Monzas are perfect they should fetch a good price, as quite a lot of them now have been kerbed at some point and people have took the easy route and had them painted rather than refaced to the diamond cut finish, also white worm is an issue,
So to the right buyer they should fetch a few £  :smiley:
