Just got a reply from vw...

[Mr GTD]

Detroits are the ALL BLACK Monza style wheels no?

Sorry if I've confused you even more 

Yep confused even more.....the ones I'm after have the black inserts, do you know what they might be called on the vw system? (the ones that come as a optional extra on the gti)

[dubber36]

Just get the registration number from a GTI that has them on at the dealers, then the parts department will be able to find the factory supplied wheels for that car.

[Mr GTD]

Right...I've had two dealers return with quotes...The best deal is below!

Retail price £508.55 each

After discount which inc vat £385.50 each x 4 total price £1542... This sounds like quite a discount but of course doesn't include tyres.

What do people think?

[Rhyso]

I think you're mad 

I'd but a 2nd hand set of MK5 Monza's and get them refurbed as per the MK6 wheels

[topher]

you could buy a genuine set of BBS CH's for less than that... justsayin

Yep I probably am that...your not the first to say that I'm sure you won't be the last...  

Thanks for all the suggestions....

On VW's system the monza shadows are listed as Detroits, Part Number is 1KO 601 025 BA FZZ, polished face with black inserts.

When I ordered mine I asked if I could have the Monza Shadow wheels they said no you can only have the wheels specified for that model. I've got used to my Seattle Shadows now so they are so bad.

Does anyone know the part number? Thanks

If anyone wants to find there own part numbers PM me?

[detritus]

I don't know why you'd not want these on a GTD.


IMHO, if you have a GTD, have GTD wheels, if you want Monzas (which are gorgeous none the less), get a GTI from the start.

Detritus.

^^^^^ I totally agree with this. It really annoys me when I see (for example) a GTD with GTi wheels on it or a GTi with 'R' wheels on it. WTF, all your really saying is that you really wanted a GTi or an 'R' but couldn't afford it!!! 

Would anyone put bluemotion rims on a GTi??
