HELP!
« on: 12 April 2005, 14:31 »
HELP! I own a MK4 Golf GTI 1.8T, 1999/T, Last week I severely curb the near side front alloy! Damaging the rim beyond repair, I have searched high and low for a second hand replacement rim with no joy! Would anybody know where I could locate?
1.8T alloys changed in 2000 to the Montreal type, I have the earlier twin spoke model? :cry:

same as mine i would imagine, click the "my dub gallery" wotsit over there <---

they're actually montreals (or monty 1's as theyre called now) which were replaced as you say by monty 2's on 2000, there's a cheap set of monty 2's in the for sale adverts section of the forum, might be worth a look !
