Not sure how the gun metal colour is going to sit with the Reflex Silver, and I do like the RS4 look. Help :shocked:

Bottom ones... although I still prefer the 18" Monza's  :evil:

18's, I think I'm leaning towards the RS4's which is good as they are half the price :evil:. I think its the Polished split rim look that was attracting me.

OMFG - the top ones should only be fitted to a rice-burner.

Just be sure that if you are paying good money they have some sort of gaurentee. I brought some cheapies for my winter tyres (Monza look-a-likes) knowing they would probably look scabby after a winter, and they are - but my good monzas havnt seen a winter.


Oh yeah... RS4 reps all the way!!!!

If you gotta change from the Monzas, go with the RS4's. The other ones are CHAV IMHO :shocked:

RS4 replica's, top one's as everyone has said luck tat!!!

I would go for the Monza II's personally, RS4's remind me of this..

Yep had one for a little while before realising it was all hype, not fast, uncomfotable, fidgity ride, buzz box, cheap interior, dated details etc etc. GTi is so much a more rounded car.

....Definitely stick with the Monza 18's in my opinion. They're unique to the Mk5 GTI (though I recently saw someone had fitted them on a TDI :sad:) and part of the iconic image. They can suffer from white worm surface corrosion but can be refurbished or blasted and repainted in a more durable finish.

The RS4 alloys are nice but they are popular now but what about the BBS CH's seen a few GTI's with them and also a Seat Leon MKII would be my choice if replacing the OEM ones.

Title: Re: I'm Stuck
Post by: RedRobin on 02 September 2007, 12:51

....Agreed. The BBS CH's are more reminscent of the original GTI alloys and are imo a very classic design synonymous with cool performance cars (and hot ones!). :cool:

Was looking at the BBS CH and came across these. I'm liking the colour although still not sure how it would look against the Silver. The black Monza's I've seen look pretty good too. Has anyone got as Reflex Silver with dark colour wheels?
