Replica 18" wheels??

after trying all major brands ive finally find some 18" tyres that give even better comfort than when i had 17s!!

OK .. spill the beans .... what tyres are they ?

This winter with the snow and ice has really tested them and perfect in everyway, in handling and comfort.. I think my tyre dealer said they were made by continental.

Bargain at £100 225/40/18

Unconditional warrenty, even if somebody stabs your tyres they will come out and replace them!!

I had a set of replica 17" Santa Monicas on one of my mk4's, got them new for 600 quid inc tyres. They weighed an absolute ton, heavier than steels! They were pitted within 9 months. ....oh yes and they ruined the whole suspension, replaced all shockers and the snapped....yes, snapped rear springs!!!!

To be honest €2000 doesn't seem that expensive - as VW in Northallerton wanted £1600 without tyres to upgrade one of their 2nd hand models from 17s to 18s. Naturally I told them where to go. Unfortunately it's very difficult to get hold of genuine monza 2's for a reasonable price unless you buy them fitted from new.
