Rims

[bzqtang]

Hi there,

I'm a proud owner of a Golf MK5 GTI. I still got those 17'' Monza when i first got my car. I f**king love my car but everytime i see the 17'' rims it just makes me depressed. I m looking to change to a 18'' Monza and would like to know if anyone knows where to get them very cheap. I searched everywhere and cheapest i could find was on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280496030681&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:GB:1123 for £299 for a set of four  .

the GTI in the photo underneath got it on the Internet but it is actually the same as mine.


Notice: It's a left hander with what you call 'german plates' though legal for me. actually i wanted to show you guys but I have a few PCN and motorway camera got me.



Actually how much do the 18'' Monza cost if you get it from a VW dealer ?

Not shure mate BUT they are not cheap.Keep an eye on the forums for a second hand set or do what i did & fit edition 30 alloys (not new).

Definitely replicas. These are "Monza Style", and nowhere does it say "genuine" or "BBS" (the manufacturer of the VW Monzas).

Yep, they are reps. Reps arent all that bad though.
