best wheels for a gti....?

[Saint Steve]

Something odd about those wheels ??

Are the black nut caps missing? cus those do look like replica's or have they been re-skimmed, making the smooth surface larger?

Something about the look of the stud pattern..

Monza or Huffs fan over the Ch's..

Polished Monzas for a GTI (other than an Ed30).  The replica 19" Monzas look especially good.

Both look great to be fair. I think I prefer a GTI to have 18" Monza's and down low on coilovers with spacers to bring the wheels out a touch. Perfect stance/look.

18" Monza Shadows from a Mk6 with the Black inserts. If i ever find a set of Monza 2s to refurb I'm having them done that style. In fact I was thinking today if I was fortunate enough to be able to order a Golf R I would order 4 brand new Monza Shadows at the same time and run the car on those instead of the standard R wheels , which do nowt for me at all.

They definitely are original Monza IIs. 

The BBS seem to be BBS VZ033, not Pescaras.


I have a set as well. But I prefer the Monza style.

 

aye the difference is you have 19 Monzas lol if i had them then there wouldnt be a choice! they would win hands down!

Wish I had original 18" Monzas. The 19" Monzas are bloody heavy !! 

(25 kg incl. tyre)

For looks, I reckon the Monza 18's are by far the best - Very distinctive and unique to the GTI. BUT, they are prone to the wretched white worm and are also heavy. The Ed30 in the UK should have had black Monza's imo.

For function, I reckon OZ Alleggerita's as they are very lightweight and also look great even when dirty (titanium colour).

Yes,

- OZ Ultraleggera (and the former Superleggera)
- OZ Allegerita  (ultralight !!)
- BBS CH  (not as light as OZ, but solid and still timeless looks)
- BBS CH-R

But for looks I still prefer the unique Monza II / Detroit / Hufs !!

Monza's look far too plain for the GTi IMO.  Age old recipe of CH's or Pescara's is the way ahead.
