Keep the shadows, they are amazing. Only ones I would trade them for would be the ones on Neils car.

I've ordered my GTI with the 18" Monza Shadows and after reading about white worm and refurb costs on these I'm having second thoughts. I'm thinking about just getting the 17" Monzas and buying a set of after markets if I feel the need. Might even just stick with the 17" Monzas. What's everyones thoughts?

As usual personal taste comes into it, but I'll back up what several other have said; stick with the Monza's and you won't be disappointed, they look superb and really give the car a special appeal.[You won't see many other cars with them on either]
Don't be put off by worm issues [probably got chipped and not repaired quickly enough]

Possibly but a lot of the worm issues occur in the bends of the wheel and there is nothing you can do about it.

Not just that sorry theres alot of reasons. Been there had polished lacx wheels on Audis, SEATs and VW in the past NEVER AGAIN. All those type of finish wheels suffer it. Its not just it lifting due to damage it lifts due to lack of keying to the surface bacause the surface has been machined.

It's up to peoples' individual preferences of course but I'm made up with the 18" monzas. I've lost count of the admiring glances I've had- included a few guys from work crowded around them the other day.

In my opinion, they were one of the first accessories I ordered and didn't look back. Granted I'm seriously careful when I'm parking though to avoid any nasty scraping sounds though ...  :grin:

Another reason i did not go for them i have had SEATs with big polished/lac wheels on in the past and i spent far too long worrying about bent rims, damage to rims etc. With the 17s i just drive the car and enjoy it. The 17s are also the faster wheels as shown by evo magazine  :evil:
