I appreciate your fundamentalist views Brother Asker, but don't be so quick to chastise those with more Methodist persuasions. We all sign from the same hymn sheet.  :cool:

I love you Brother, wheels or no wheels. :smiley:

PS: What is your take on Snoopy's and my rear bumper problems?

Now hang on Brother Steve. No need to get jealous of innocent brotherly love. It's what this world badly needs.
Anyway, Monza Shadows and Interlargos wheels don't quite mesh! :grin:

Love is a many splendoured thing!
Look at Snoopy's pictures on Page 3 and mine on Pages 6 and 8.
Even worse in reality! :sick: :angry:

Your car looks so much nicer in the pics with the monzas.  With those other things on it looks like an ordinary Golf.  Sorry.

+1
They will all learn the error of their ways!
MAW is preparing for winter in adavance but unfortunately posts pictures of his car with 'those other things'.
Makes the car look like a granny machine!

That is it in a nutshell, you do have a way wwith words :grin:
Hinge and Bracket are at it again. Too much time looking at 2D photos and not enough in the real world. Scirocco wheels look nothing like base model Golf wheels. They fill the arches much better than Monzas do due to their lower offset and also have a nice sporty contour in profile. Golf GTIs and Sciroccos have shared wheel styles since the 1970s.
As much as I love the Monzas which have their own heritage now, they are just as common on Non GTIs as they are on pukka GTIs due to the amount of people with GTIs who upgrade their wheels (again, something that's been hapening since the '70s), and flog them to Diesel owners, plus the numerous replicas which are sold all over ebay.
End of Sunday surmon. Amen.  :smiley:

Thanks for sticking up for us Exonian..... I think its fair to say there’s only a small number of people who don't actually like them (those with a Monza fetish). Without seeing them in the flesh its a bit short sighted to be to critical imo. I'm my cars worst critic and would happily admit that they are not the best wheels in the world, but they do look pretty good.

p.s. I'm glad my wheels have caused so much debate and thanks for all the good + bad comments. I'll post some more pictures in the future just to upset the interlagos haters..!!  :smiley:

All the best guys MAW73

Hi MAW. I don't hate the Interlagos wheels at all. On a 'rocco with 19" size they look quite stunning. I see them everyday on that car. However, I personally feel they don't quite suit the GTi as much as the Shadows. You've got both so have covered all bases! Just show us pictures in your signature of the car with the Shadows too. Fair enough?
