Are we sure the suspension height and settings, camber/caster/toe are the same for either wheels???
Pretty sure...
The dealer will swap wheels if you push them hard enough...and they sure as hell don't re-align.
That sounds interesting, has anyone actually managed this?
I'd expect the dealer to say:
1. take it or leave it
2. we can't do that sir, we sell cars not wheels
3. yes, that will be £2000
On a brand new one yes i have seen it a couple of times.
Theres a lad on here with a black one i nearly bought from stock and he got the dealer to fit the 18" wheels on it as part of his deal. (It had the 17s on it)
But my advice would be get the one with the 18s on and if you don't want them sell them. (will be asy to sell them)
Theres loads of the monza 17" alloys for sale out there but not many 18" ones.
Especially as alot of the mk5 boys want 18s and so are selling there 17s to 'upgrade'.
