Desicions - Need help / Opinions Please

My 17s are curbed to sh!t aswell

When I get my 18s I shall be parking 3 foot from the curb 

FYI here is a pic of Greenhouse with wheel No.1

[davoaj]

No curbing to mine whatsoever!

In fact, thinking I might get VW to replace them and then sell the brand bew ones they give and replace them with some nice CH's.

[Hurdy]

No2 out of those.

Why....Well Number 1 as a rep will most likely be made in China from Plasticine and number 3 will need refurbing after the first winter with the white worm disease.

The issue with number 3 is less, but still of note....Size and offset options maybe limited. The ones I've seen are 8.5" with a 45 offset, which are okay as long as you don't plan on much of a drop.

I'd have personally gone for Pro Race 1.2's as all these will be hefty (all 12.5kg plus) and the 18" TDPR's are 9kg. Obviously if you are after show rather than go, number 2 gets the definitive nod from me

Im after a decent compromise of both, obviously want them to look nice but I love a spirited drive as much as the next GTI owner so I STILL DONT KNOW lol

This is also my fear 

Tempted to play it safe at get the Monza2s . . . or maybe the LMs.... ARGH lol

2 gets my vote.

I think black wheels look good but not great with a black car - maybe on my tornado though 

After spending a fair bit of $$$ on wheels you want to stand out a bit and getting the monzaII's  is going to be lost on all but the golf geeks.

All IMO of course, don't think you can go wrong with any of them.

LM's all the way

[HasH]

2nd ones with out a doubt! Monzas suck!

Alright Alan,

Out of the 3 definatly number 2, only problem is with LM's you need a low stance to pull it off well. CH's work with factory or mild drop but I personally would avoid the black on black IMO, doesn't quite work, I also don't like the red, but thats my opinion.

The monza 2 fakes are going to be heavy! BBS monza's ain't light from what I have read and there hollow technology so these I would guess will weigh a ton. Also you can tell there not genuine.

IMO i'd wait for a set of pescara's to pop up, or even there was a set on satin black BBS monza's going on mk5golfgti.co.uk for £600 with tyres!!

I'll be in the same situation soon, and I know i'm going to hang on for a set of quality wheels, i've done the rep thing with the mk4 and the differance when swapping to a decent set of wheels is night and day!

Hummms swaying towards the LMs. I dont really want a set of standard pescara as I feel they are reserved for ED30s and get the impression of being a bit of "wannabe".

If I get the LMs and they look a bit too high I can always lower her a bit, what wheels you toying with Sam?

[Spaced]

I like black Alloys but it's black overkill on a black car and in the words of Nigel Tufnel It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.

Last year I bought some Monza II reps they looked great but they felt so heavy I changed my mind and got rid of them on ebay to a guy with a remapped Diesel.

I like no1 and the red ring, but I would stick with silver.
