My car came with 17 inch Monzas, and it looked plain as hell. I wanted one with 17s as I had a set of 18inch BBSs to go on the car already. However now I wish I'd sold the BBSs and got one with Monza Shadows instead! Too many people critisise them from just looking at photos, they look lovely in the flesh where as the 17'' Monzas just look plain.
I can understand peoples reservations about them, and their worries too as I was on the sharp end of a set of Monza IIs that needed refurbing on my mk5, but when the sunlight glints off of them there's just no comparason.
The wheelarches on the mk6 must also be a slightly different shape to the mk5s as wheels do look smaller on the mk6. There's a guy in work with a 3 door GT model that has 18s on but they look quite small. When I first saw it I had to go over and check the tyre size to make sure. You would never mistake a mk5 with 18s on.
