The Monza Shadows are probably the most beautiful and unusual of wheels.

My dear MAW73.
I am so happy to hear this. The Monza Shadows are probably the most beautiful and unusual of wheels. So what if most GTis are shod with them.
Sometimes, trying to be different is not always a good thing!
I'm not trying to be different, I just fancied a change and have always liked the rocco wheels and the look of FroGTI's car. The Monza shadows are great wheels but to think there the only wheel that will suit a GTI is a bit blinkered IMO. But each to there own and thats what this forum is all about. You might not like them but that your opinions and thats cool with me. So come on now lets have a little cyber man hug and get over this... you know you love the wheels really... :smiley:

 :grin: + cyber hug with pleasure.

Honestly, I don't like the wheels in comparison to the Monza Shadows. As wheels go, they are nice, but that's that.

As they are, in silver, they would look better on darker coloured cars like Snoopy's or Froggy's.

On your white car, a definite no as there is too much bling - a white car + silver wheels with a million spokes! Yuck.
Even worse would be a white car with white wheels. :sick:

However, if these wheels were painted in anthracite or even black, the overall look would be quite fantastic on your white car and a worthy match for the Monza Shadows. Possibly even better. IMO. :smiley:

Agree with that. The wheels in silver look better against a carbon grey. I shall definatly get them finished in anthracite at some point now  :wink:

i.e. like the colour on this white A3 http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showthread.php?83609-Ibis-White-S3-Black-styling-pack

With that, the 'wow' factor will return with a vengence! :smiley:
Quick question: Do you have ACC on your totally specced car?

No mate, no ACC. My car was x demo so it came with a good spec. Buying x demo saved a  good few £'s and the long delivery time on a new one (would definatley do that again next time).

Is it loaded or what? Wonderful spec. Smart buy. :smiley:
The car will look the business with the anthracite wheels. Black would also look amazing, though these don't seem to be very photogenic.
How much do you think it will cost to 'anthracite' them? Can't wait for the pictures.

You're entitled to your opinion, but in my book the Monza Shadows are among the ugliest wheels ever designed.

After seeing thousands of alloys I keep coming back to the 18 inch Monza's I think it is a beautiful alloy really belonging to the GTI and you hardly see the modification crowd changing them therefore it can be called a succesfull design, in my book it is as good/comparable as the "Fuchs" on the Porsches...

Amen to that Erik. :smiley:
However, I think when MAW 'anthracites' his wheels, they will look stunning. :smiley:
What do you think of Monza Shadows in anthracite?
