35mm no good for the front of a Golf really, fine for a Scirocco.

The mk6 is a funny beast as there aren't that many wheels that actually do suit it unlike the mk5 which looks great with lots of different styles and sizes. I think it's because a mk6 is a slabby looking thing with big fat bumpers.  :lipsrsealed:

Think i will list them on ebay, do you think i should list them just for a scirocco and keep away from listing them for a MK5/MK6 golf? and also if i do list them for a scirocco will they fit it properly.

Last question how much should i be looking for the spacers if advertised ?

FK spacers are quite cheap, they won't fetch biggish money like H&R or Eibachs but they'll sell okay.
As for the wheels, just list them as VW Audi fitment and clearly show the ET. Let people do their own homework!! Seriously though, they'll fit VW vans such as the T5 and Caddy, SEATs, Skodas etc so just list 'em up and see what happens.
They're quite an attractive wheel in a Germanic way but not really mk6 material. I still haven't found any wheels I really like that much for the mk6, no wonder the designers played safe and stuck with Monzas.

I like lots of those but I think I stand alone on this thread in liking my Monzas above all of them. Maybe because they're so unique to the GTi. But also being a boring old fart they're so easy to clean. It must be a nightmare cleaning those multi spoke BBSs.

I'm a fan of the Monzas too...epecially in 18"...but I wish VW would learn a lesson regarding polished and lacquered wheels in the UK and the associated corrosion issues.

I really like the VWM wheels...by far the best aftermarket wheel in my book...
Closely followed by a few of the BBS (CH, CK etc

In my view, those at the top of the page are hideous!

Monzas look like something off a ford from the 80s imo. There not a vw type style wheel. VW use to make nice style wheels for there GTIs. :sad:

I like the Monzas as well but my second pair are probably going to be 18 BBS CH for the winter tyres. I haven't seen the Monzas live though.

As someone on here put it, they look as if some greasy teenager on work experience has been told to paint them with Hammerite :grin:
