Thinking of ditching the 18" Shadow monzas and going for something else but I have no idea what… Anyone got any pics of what they have had done?

Have been agonising over this for months. I was leaning towards the Momo Revenge in Anthracite but they seem to work out about £1000+ with decent tyres.

I love the VMR 710's but they are so so expensive and as I keep cars for less than a year I'm trying to be more sensible.

No they are 18", the picture was taken shortly after I bought, when it was new and the suspension hadn't settled.

I see yout point. Sometimes I think they do, sometimes not.
In my mind, the CHs look bigger here:



Then VW Racings TD Pro Race 1.2s:



Both being 8.0" x 18".

Both look considerably smaller than these:



Early VW Racing 8.5" x 19".


For comparison, that's the same BBS CHs on a Mk5:



...and they do look bigger on a Mk5.  :smiley:
