Congratulations, but I will always prefer the iconic Monza Shadows.

Iconic? ICONIC? For what? Being dreadful looking and worming badly? Probably the worst standard wheels fitted to any MK of GTI.

Hit the nail on the head, mine have only covered 9k(18month old) and have whiteworm on all 4. Going to get them replaced under warranty.

Blimey all four of yours got white worm. Had one replaced under warrenty but my others are o.k. Then again there waxed and tucked away in storage at my office.

Be good if you could take some pictures of the white worm on all your wheels and post them on here for the record. Thinking it may help others fight a case to get them replaced if they have any future probs.
