What colour for refrub on monza's?
« on: 05 December 2013, 21:26 »
I have a set of Monza 18's from a mk5 that i am going to use for winter tyres. They are riddled with the white worm and will get done at lepsons but i was struggling to choose colour to go with my Deep Black ed35. Car has Glendales currently so was thinking going for gloss black but not sure they will look any good for more than a few minutes this winter. I do love the standard Monza finish but its an expensive refurb and these are going to be winter wonders so full on laquered isnt really appropriate.

Anyone any pics of Gloss Black, flat black, Anthracite or similar on a Black Mk6?

Plasti Dip is mint, so easy to use and remove. I think a heavy curbing session would be a bit worse for the wheels  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Plasti Dip is cheap and nasty, so easy to use and remove. I think a heavy curbing session would be a bit worse for the wheels  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

OP - what about silver with graphite highlights?

It's a tough one as one single colour looks  :sick: IMO
