Monza Shadows from vw on GTD

[Keithuk]

Welcome to the forum Darren.

The one thing putting me off the GTD is the choice of wheels, does anyone know if VW will fit Monza Shadows onto a GTD as part of the order or would I have to buy them seperate?

I asked for the Monza Shadows when I ordered mine but they wouldn't accept the wheel change they said you can only have the wheels specified for that model, thats more VW bull? I've quite got used to mine now.

Anyway, the Charleston Shadows look much nicer on the GTD than a set of Monza Shadows would.

What Andy says is very true ^^^^ Stick with the shadows very nice

Fitting Monza Shadows to a GTD, could make it look like you really wanted a GTI, and we all know that no derv owner would make that mistake.

Where VW slipped up, is dropped Vancouvers from the GTD option list.

No the reason I wanted Monza Shadows as they are easy to clean.

I beg to differ. With Charlestons and Vancouvers, you can get your wash mit between the spokes and reach all of the inside of the wheel, or is that just me being anal?

Thanks for the replies. Still tied between a GTI and GTD.

Think I need to go and see a GTD with the charlston shadows and make a decision.

Not sure I really need the extra mpg of a diesel but I want to make sure i've covered all roads before I make a choice.

If it's down to the Wheels as a deciding factor go for the GTI or even a second hand R! I know I'm a closet GTI fan! I only drive a GTD as I do high mileages.

The smoothness and appeal is greater compared to a high torque figure and cheaper distance (s)miles!

So your saying that flat surfaces are harder to clean than spokes?

Who uses a wash mit here apart from dubber36?

Make sure your sitting down when the parts department tells you the cost of them.

Granted, the faces of the Monzas are easy to wipe over, but then again, the Charlestons and Vancouvers aren't exactly difficult to clean for spoked wheels.
