Are they VMR's? They look like the wheels SteveP had on for a while...similar to VMR's but not quite as rich!!

Now running on R32 Omanyt 18" genuine OEM alloys.

They are painted dark grey, but look almost black in this photo.

Does anyone know who makes the 18" Monza rims for VW ?
I heard it might be CMS Turkey or Hayes Lemmerz in Italy ?
Does anyone know, perhaps it's embossed into the cast on the back of the wheel within one of the spoke recesses ??
Cheers

When you say currently, does that mean they've been made by someone else previously ?
The reason I ask, is that I have dealings with a few alloy wheel manufacturers in my day job, so was looking to see if I could get some directly if needed (am in the market for a MK5GTI and would prefer 18's, so this way an upgrade from a car with 17's to 18's might not be too expensive)
Cheers
