The non Monza wheel thread.

Yes they are VMR v710's, and yes these are available in 18's and 19's 

Further decision: Better looking to my eyes than the Monza Shadows. Love them to bits. Here I go again .........

I wonder how much they cost in either 18" or 19".

One more of that car.

Niche Conversions is the UK supplier, at around £1000 for a set, but I think it's cheaper to buy direct from VMW

Thanks Steve.

Love the VMR710's. They really do suit the shadow blue GTI. Dark colour cars when there cleaned and polished really do look the buisness at dusk, like in the last photo. 

Here's a set of VMR701's I saw on ebay for £650-00  ....... The price seems a bit to good to be true (genuine ?)

p.s. I love the style of these audi alloys at the moment. Would really suit a GTI imo but probably not seen as the done thing to swap audi alloys over to a WW?

I would need new tyres even if I changed from 7.5" wide 18" Monza Shadows, as most of the 18" wheels I like are 8" or 8.5" in rim width.
I'll remain static on this for now.
