sorry to be a spoil sport, but make sure if you do fit different wheels you tell your insurance co, as its counted as a mod, and if you have an accident your insurance will be invalid.   :nerd:

some replicas are ok (according to a few people), but i would be careful as some cheaper rims can buckle easier than a more quality item

Makes sense, I mean I'm not a cheapskate! if I had the cash I would get them.

I will get a gti eventually, but until then I just want some shiny Monza's on my fsi :-)

Cheers guys,

Out of interest would 19's fit on an mk5 fsi? I suppose if i'm going to save and spend 1500+ on standard gti wheels, my options have just opened up! So was looking at some BBS wheels, the new Air II CY's look stunning.

Think they are about 500 a piece in the uk

Or might just get some ch 18's if not...

Anyone got the ch in black on theirs?

God all this car business is getting expensive, I only passed my test 2 weeks ago ha! and the debt it piling!
