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:


Your quite right mate, Monza's are the best on the GTI, however for me I just fancied a different set for a change/winter etc......

On the Rocco forum where I brought my wheels from there is another guy with a genuine set for sale with tyres (and I know he will take £600 for them)....

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:

I just need to find a way of squashing the back down on my GTI and there you go I'll have a rocco.... :smiley:

O please don't do that, that is the worst feature of the 'rocco.
I am sure they will look the business. For me, Monza Shadows or the wheels Neil or Es_Three have, though 19" will be too dangerous for town driving and my accident prone nature. :rolleyes:
At £600 you got a bargain. :smiley:

Yeh sometimes I look at the rocco's and I think, yeh smart, love them, wouldn't mind one...... then you go and look at it from the back and think..... no way I don't fancy that, its ugly.

Its a bit like some of my x's then :smiley:

Well there here.... my interlagos alloys got delivered today  :wink:

If I get a chance tomorrow I'll whip the monza shadows off and see what the new wheels look like.

I quickly offered them up to the car this evening and I'm fairly confident they will look pretty good. Already though I'm thinking they may look possibly even better in a charcoal / anthracite finish against a CW.

I shall take some pic's and post them on here for your valued comments..... god help me!!  :smiley:

Supoib :cool: I must say they make your GTI look very Scirocco-like as it's in white (no bad thing, though...)
