black rockinghams or monza's



 :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:

What would u suggest, really into the whole BBS CH thingi but not to sure about spending 2500 euros on rims  :undecided:


Go for some 18" monza replicas.
You can get a set of 4 for the price a dealer charges for one.

from....ebay? really want a new set of rims as mine are scratched to f**k and was thinking of geting replicas till i can afford something abit more...real but then i would need to get 4 new tyres lol

£215 for a set of 18" monza's with a polished finish

i think they ship to Gib. Probably looking at £250 delivered which is good as it costs £60 to get an alloy refurbished!



Do those look like the 18" Monza II's....really like the look of those!

in no way wishing to alter you decision but from the feedback
Id be aware that polished wheels dont last very long (even OE VW ones) , aftermarket in general seem worse.
They look stunning (in fact they really suit a black car) , but I know they would annoy me once they get scratched or start 'worming'

Maybe less of an issue in Gib and at that cost though I reckon you could enjoy them for a while then change again once the tyres have worn down  :smiley:

Yes but i would imagine you would get ATLEAST a year out of them if not a little more. I think you can afford to get a new set every 12 to 18 months as they are dirt cheap. They are cheaper than getting the alloys refurbed
