New wheels on the way soon
« on: 14 July 2010, 22:51 »
A wee bit premature, but I've finally got my winter set of wheels sorted out...... so I can ( hopefully ) keep my Monza II's in pristine condition.

I've brought a genuine set of mint scirocco interlagos 18"s with tyres that have only done 3K. I brought them off a guy on the scirrocco forum for £600 notes. :smiley:

Maybe not to everyones taste but I think they will look fairly good on my GTI..... I've always liked the look of them on FrogGTI's car ever since I saw the pictures posted on here.

Ideally I would have liked a set of BBS black CH's but I couldn't afford those to be honest.

I will of course be posting photos in the near future.... :cool:

I don't think I've seen a white golf on these wheels before.

The pictures will be good.
I love my GTD

Congrats, best wheels ever :wink: I bet you won't want to take them off come the spring. BTW, why do you need winter wheels/tyres in Sussex? :shocked:

Found a nice pic of a MK6 on interlagos alloys...... Now I'm really looking forward to getting these wheels on my car next week  :wink:

Hmmm .... not too sure if they suit the GTi .... have to see them in the flesh. Oh well, you've got half a 'rocco now. :smiley:

A white standard golf has them not far from me.
They have also lowered the car and looks really smart.
I certainly think the wheels suit the car.

I think they look smart on a standard mk6 but for me the GTI should be sitting on GTI wheels.

The GTI is the only car in the world to get Monza variant wheels... so I'm keeping mine on Monzas. Although I might consider going to 18 inches if I find a set of genuine wheels at the right price (I'm wary of replicas).

That having been said ETTO and the car in the pic you posted looks absolutely brilliant. Perfect for that colour also.  :smiley:
