... Actually, I'm now really obsessed. :sick:

Well if its any consolation I'm obsessed with finding the perfect alloys on mine. Yes I have a wheel fettish ( but I guess its better than dressing up in womens clothing or something:grin:

Amen to that brother Martin.

The perfect alloys for the MK6 are the Monza's  :cool:
I don't believe that dressing up in womens clothing is the only alternative to having a wheel fetish  :rolleyes: [although you do mention "or something"]
My fetish [if you can call it that] is keeping my car clean, I'm dreading the winter with all that salt and grit  :angry:

Yes mate..... a fair assumption seeing as your in Aberdeenshire. Obviously your not Scottish, so where are you from then? 

English...I just live up here!

Reducing my Golf count by the week....

A wise decision, I don't have a wife to borrow a Corsa off :sad:, but I've been thinking of buying a cheap car to use for the winter; done this in the past but it gets expensive [2x insurance, 2x tax, 2x servicing [and repairs on older cars]]

RickS, Imo its the Monza's Shadows which are more likely to take a hammering in the winter.... i.e. skidding into a kerb in the snow, damage from pot holes, corriosion from the salt etc..... maybe instead of buying a cheap run-around car with all the costs assoicated with it you should instead look at buying a winter set of wheels? That's what I brought the interlagos wheels for (I paid around £600 for them with decent new tyres from memory from a nice chap on the rocco forum). You could even buy some rep alloys or something??
