the look lovely mate

but please don't get too upset about them being reps
the eagle eyed will notice 2 or 3 things that are different from originals

the one thing that's definately different is the thickness of the rim on the inner bits

im going to vw tomorrow to double check this.. they do have the bbs marking inside plus they are 7.5 not 8j. however now you mentioned the rim thickness its best i get them checked.. if they are fake im going straight back to the seller with a spade.

anyone have a close up photo of there monza?

ive had replicas before they were 8j and didnt have any lip at all plus was very heavy..

these are 7.5j they do have the J"W BBS kinda symbol inside plus ET and something like rd or rod then a long number, BUT ive justed checked the black nut caps that go over the bolts and they dont fit ??

The offset is the giveaway. Originals are 51. Nowt wrong with reps though, they look good and if you look after them will last.

Looking good, still undecided what to do with my Monza's but this is looking like a good route - great bargain you got by the sounds of it.

Well i went to VW today they removed the wheel and said its not a genuine vw rim but it does have all the other markings same as that of an original vw monza rim but dose not actualy say vw germany just germany.

He said they are a very good copy and they could have been made by another alloy wheel company in germany, he lifted both the rims up and they are near enough the same weight.

I told him how much i paid he said you may aswell keep them because all other replica monzas are 8j and weigh more and are made outside of germany.

They are nice and i think i will keep them as they are 7.5j plus weigh the same as an original.

It wont say VW anywhere on them apart from your centre cap :P Genuine MonzaII's (for example) just have BBS and a few other numbers stamped on the inside (because BBS make them, VW just put their centre caps on them)

Dumbass dealers :rolleyes:

im removing them again next week to fit some new locking nuts so ill take a proper photo of the insides and you guys who know your stuff about origina monzas can find any differences..

the genuine 18" monza alloy we compared it with at vw did have vw germany and bbs logo on them, from an 08 plate gti
