ye i have some 18" monza reps.
Cost me £240 for the alloys from an online retailer and £380 for 4x Goodyear Eagle F1's
£620 total

I cant fault the alloys. Look great!

keep on top of the cleaning with reps, had some on my last GTi and although I clean my car every week at least once and never used any acid based cleaners on the wheels they corroded within 12 months, but I suppose at that price you could get new ones
