HI guys,
I'm looking to replace my Monza alloys on my Mkv GTI {2004/2005}.....
I've seen a set for sale and the seller has sent some photos of the serial numbers etc on the inside of the rims - photos are not great but I think this is correct:
CAA 063
MAX LOAD 690KG
ET 4.5
18X801
JUL VLA
- Anyone know if these are ok for my car?

Ok fair play I thought... However when it came to leave the car conked out and was just cranking with low
