Greenouse is selling some Monzas. I've already bought his Monza II 'shadows' but he's selling black Monzas with a red rim.

They look really nice. They're about £1000 but then you get proper VW-approved Michelin Pilot tyres for them. And it's Greenouse, so you know they're genuine BBS.

sounds good stealth wolf but that twice the peice of brand new replicas with half decent tyres, would love to buy genuine but whilst in middle of a global reccesion just not viable, the replicas will only really cost me around £250-£300 as should get a couple hundred back when sell my 17s cheers anyway mate  :undecided: :undecided: :undecided:

TBH I'd rather go for originals than replicas anyday.

As mentioned, the problem with replicas is quality. The wheels could fall off the car by the time you get home!

Anyway good luck with buying your rims!

I would not be happy with kuhmo tyres to be honest, I had a set once and they were crap in the wet.

some of the reps tend to badly finished and can look tatty after a very short amount of time.

i think khumo tyres are fine tbh wayne had a set on my 200 bhp series 1 rs turbo last year and seemed to stop that bouncing all over the road lol kuhmo is a good tyre for its price bracket obviously they may be slightly out performed by some of the top brands etc but they are twice the price lol and also if your a good driver it wont tend to matter that much anyway afterall we on uk roads with most speed cams in europe, not the nurenburg ring lol :laugh:
