Good or bad swap?

[Ivor Mk4 Turbo]

what do u mean?

The tyre is rotational & should be rolling the other way - Look at the arrow at the top of the the pic.  That wheel is on the N/S rear, but should be on the O/S of the car (unless you have the tyre taken off & turned around).  More than likely, though, you've got a tyre on the other side which is also rotating 'backwards', in which case no need for tyre removal, just swap the wheels over!

If they're real is he chucking in the adapters. (~£250 brand new!)

I'm guessing they are reps.

oh well ive never noticed, The guy that changed 2 back tyres not long ago might have done them wrong when putting bk on not sure or maybe always been tht way since i got them in november. will have a look thanks.

there on another mk4 and there 17 inch. The boy hasnt had them long and im positive there the real deal, but are the real deals only 18s or can they be 17s?

17's and 18's on the MK5

18's have the more polished look and are the better looking wheel

I think the 18's also have the black 'shadow' behind the spokes.  If they're genuine Mk5 rims, then they'll only fit a Mk4 with adaptors, as the Golf 4 & 5 have different fitments (PCD).

well there on his mk4, he was at school with me years ago, so i do know him and hes not thhe dodgy type. It'll be a straight swap with everything im gathering, his dad got him them for xmas last year and hes said from the start hes never liked them hence the reason hes keen to swap.

Keith - partly right, mk5 17" Monza's were completely silver, then 18" were diamond cut and had grey backing

The ones in the pic from the OP are Monza Shadows from the mk6

thanks for that mate, i personally think there smart on mk4s and the are kinda liked from a lot of folk i guess. I like the image of them total black on the silver golf, ive got a silver one so might look into getting them black.

Did you do the swap then mate? Any pics?

Thinking of 17" silver Monza's for mine..

YES swap the wheels are lovely i have them obviously replicas but i love then, thing is though be careful with locking wheel nuts as using the wheel brace causes you to scratch the face with certain cheap sets  they look awesome when clean! bit more bland when dirty.. hope this helps
