Post by: isitme on 18 February 2008, 20:55: I've been thinking of getting the 18" monzas for a while now and looking at the ones on ebay for Ã‚£429 they should come with unnamed 'performance' tyres included. Quite a bargain considering the dealers price.

Its worth looking at alloywheels.com as you have the option of upgrading the tyres to something more fitting for the GTi. I couldn't find the post, but recently someone was asking for opinions on the alloys from ebay and alloywheels. I'm sure someone better at searching will point you in the right direction.

Post by: sunnylunn on 19 February 2008, 06:59: i have been looking at the monzas' on ebay, just a bit worried how long they will last, i am sure that they are from china for that price. i've emailed a few of the sellers but have had no reply, says it all really, you get what you pay for. cheapest i've seen on fleebay is Ã‚£399 +25 p+p, including 4 xtyres which are undoughtably crap.

At that price i can afford to buy a new set every year :wink:

try these, as mentioned above you can spec up the tyres to something that'll give you a bit more confidence

Post by: martininwillerby on 19 February 2008, 19:59: Hi... may not be a problem on 18" wheels, but the off set is wrong. OEM wheels are ET51 not ET45
But just by chance I will have a brand new set of OEM wheels next week some time.
As I am getting some BBS CH's and my original wheels are getting exchanged under warranty..
email me if your interested..... I'm after about Ã‚£1000 with two rear tyres that have done 15500 miles...
