Sorry, but another one that thinks they don't suit the car - and why would you swap out expensive VW rims for cheap aftermarket AEZs ???



Maybe.... just maybe he prefers them.

Not my cup of tea but heh as has been said before "each to their own" nice colour that carbon grey. After DPB that is my favourite colour.

Also not liking them, but then again I prefer to OEM+ look instead.
I would have gone with a wheel design along the lines of something you would find on a standard VW though.

Glad someone said something positive!!!!! My mind of thinking was the wheels are carbon grey inside and polished on the outside so sort of blends in. Checked with a few people today and had good response, so I think they are here to stay. Trust me they look better in the flesh!!!!!
Are AEZ made in Germany wheels cheap then???  :shocked:

IANB, did I see your car out the back of the VW dealer in Camberley last week? If so, the wheels didn't look too small in real life, although they wouldn't be my first choice.

I think the AEZs look okay, people said the 18'' BBSs on mine look small too.
I think part of the problem is the car is too close to the camera in the shots, maybe you could shoot off a few more a bit further away from the car?

no offence meant - all relative but I bet a new monza is more expensive than one aez.  But then I'd never put anything bar original or high end tuner wheels such as BBS , ABT etc on a car
