There's one just up the road and for that price you cant go wrong. Cheers for the heads up pal, much appreciated.

Looks great, what a difference the dark finish inside the wheels makes - they look huge compared to 17"s
What's the going rate for Monza IIs with/without tyres? If the right car comes up with only 17"s, this mod is high up on my list.
Also, you say it's improved the ride - are the tyres the same brand as the 17" ones? What did you put on the 18"s in terms of width/profile?
Does it feel any slower off the mark with larger wheels?
And does anyone know if there are any VCDS settings that need to be changed when you change wheels i.e. Speedo settings etc. or are they effectively the same overall size as the 17" wheels just with lower profile tyres?
Sorry for all the questions... I'd just like to know and this seemed as good a time as any to ask :ashamed:
