Title: Black 18" Monza's on Ed30..
Post by: Vtec Abuser on 30 January 2008, 17:30: I notice a few of the Ed30 owners have gone for these (good choice IMO).

Since I am changing the wheels on mine pretty much straight away. I was thinking of probably going for these... (http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/7384/detail036large1mz1.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

But I do like the Monza's too, but from what I understand they are a aftermarket choice and are not on the options list (Even though Auto Express say they are a Ã‚£1500 option). Best price i've found is Ã‚£900. Does anyone know if that can be beaten? Don't need tyres, just rims. Don't even mind if they are second hand, so long as they are in mint condition..

Post by: Peskarik on 30 January 2008, 17:51: I like black Monza's because when it is dark and the street lights shine just so, the rim reflects the light from its plain surface very very nicely. I wish one could get 19'' Monzas in black, I'd go for them. I do not have any plans to change my stock Monzas for any aftermarket product, wven though I sometimes look at iForged line of rims (black center and wide chrome lip, mm)

Post by: Andy B on 31 January 2008, 15:47: There was a pic I saw a while back which had black BBS wheels (18 or 19" not sure) with a white line on the rim.

It really looked great on a white car. Has anyone got a link to a pic like that?

I think you might be referring to the car in this link (near bottom of thread for final photos) :-

Post by: Andy B on 31 January 2008, 17:58: Johnny G - thanks that was exactly what I was looking for:

The white line really makes the black wheels stand out. Without the line, it's not easy to tell where the rubber ends and the wheel begins at some angles... very smart!

Post by: Peskarik on 31 January 2008, 18:41: Standard black Monza have a silver sliver (am I good at English, oder was? :nerd:) , which makes rims stand out. And when it is clean, and the sun is shining, that sliver reflects light quite beautifully. :smiley:
