19" Monzas!
« on: 20 June 2007, 13:02 »
Anyone got 19" Monzas fitted?, I think I'm right in saying that the W12 concept GTI had 19's fitted and it looked amazing.  Not sure on the quality of these though, they could be fine but who knows? :undecided:

Yeah - the car I bought is fitted with 19" BBS CH Alloys... they look nice on the car (will post some picks after I have pciked up this weeked and given it a good claying and wax), but TBH I think I prefer the look of the original 18" Monza's... I might even swap them back if I can flog the BBS's for a similar price to buying some original 18's.

Ride quality is OK, obviously you feel more of the road... but handling is not compromised and they do fill the arches a fair bit...

Are those BBS similar to the standard ED30 pescaras, just bigger (obviously) ?

I think so... although that maybe the BBS CK... not BBS CH... the CH have a slightly bigger central area with some embossed writing "motorsport".. something or other... mind you to the casual observer the CK and CH look identical!

If so they look really smart - if you decide to sell them in favour of monzas let me know as I might be interested! :smiley:
