Gossa, where did you get your monza's done in the end? Did they do a good job and how much if you don't mind me asking for the record? Thanks MAW73

P.S always liked the look of the R wheels on your car. Would you buy reps again?

Got my wheels refurbed at Spit and Polish, they have done a good job eventually but dob't go near them with a barge pole, bunch of muppets!

Would I buy reps again? Absolutely, no difference in my eyes. If they don't sell I'll paint them black and use them for winter!

Thanks Gossa, If I didn't have my interlagos wheels kicking around in the garage for winter I would have taken those of your hands. I personally think they look really nice in silver on a red car and black would suit a white car more.

Its good to know your positive opionion on rep wheels. I think if you keep to a fairly basic design and finish like the R wheels you can't go wrong with reps.

I've managed to somehow keep my Monza's pretty well pristine, however I'm sure the day will come when they need a refurb.

Not really pushed my car since having these on. But of course had a few cheekey quick turns around some corners etcs. And they seem very positive tyre compared with the pirells on before. Less tyre noise also which was a bonus. And in the wet very good also even though not really had much wet weather to test.

In all well worth the money.

Did my first proper UK track day on my PS3's today and they held up pretty well, they have grained up a lot on the outer edge but given the high speed corners of the Silverstone new GP circuit it's not surprising. Once they got hot the grip was awesome for a road tyre and helped me show a clean pair of heals to a lot of cars that didn't expect a Golf GTI to  :laugh:

Also did probably 20+ runs on a very very tight and twisty auto test course course and again they performed really well. So these are certainly going to remain my tyres of choice for the road but will be investing in some track day tyres for the future.
