Yes they are genuine BUT they are refurbed Monza II's not Monza shadows.

Also with them having no valve's some Monza II's require metal valves only available from VW which will set you back another £50 ish!

Thanks for the reply....what's the difference between monza2 and monza shadows?? And how can you tell they've been refurbed?

Thanks

The part number on the wheel in the pic is from a Monza II which should have a grey insert so it's been refurbed at sometime as it's now got a black insert.

Nice to see your socks matching the holes in the wheels - genuine VW GTI socks?

Oh okay, thanks....the seller is after £750 would you buy these?

Definately not, you'll need to buy some decent tyres (maybe metal valves@£50 also) so could end up costing you £1200 for some refurbed monza's II's.

What description did he put in the ad for the alloys?

[MAW73]

I would pay no more than £500 for those tbo

Here you go...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230731656557?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_640wt_922 he claims there new but as I've found out from you(which I'm great full for) they are not so...thankfully I haven't parted with any cash yet..

Plus i'm sure Monza shadows are made by Ronal not BBS.
