Are you certain that they are not reps?

I would be interesting to know if they are genuine VW or reps. Should be the real thing but some dealers do sell copys.

thats shocking, if you bought a gti off them then 6 months later the laquer started lifting what would they do???, plus are reps the correct offset and width???, if owt happened surely you would have them over a barrel????

No idea what he is talking about the detroit / monza wheels ARE BBS so if they are NOT BBS then they are reps, simple as . . .

Apart from the Ronal ones.

The early Monzas were BBS but the late ones were Ronals. There are at least two part numbers I've seen for the black Detroits too so they could be BBS and Ronal too.
I'll let you know when I get chance to check.
