My first GTI - In fact my first VW!!
RedRobin:
....
Ah, a pic has appeared :happy2:
Hmm.....Interesting.....Colour coded and R32(?) wheels. The previous lady owner had definite ideas about her appearance then. I bet it did a lot of short school or nursery runs.
too hot:
Colour coding looks good,don`t know why they didn`t come like that :wink:
JVS:
The piccy arrived ok then - that wasn't too difficult!
The lady didn't buy the wheels. they were put on by the independant dealer.
The original 18" Monza wheels were in very bad condition when he obtained the car so he sent them for refurbishment. He said that they were stolen from his workshop just after being delivered back.
I've never been a lover of "telephone dial" style wheels so prefered the R32 items anyway - all personal taste etc.
Can I presume your question mark means that you doubt they are original VW items? Is so, you'd be correct - they are copies.
I really like BBS LM rims - maybe, once my wallet has recovered!! :grin:

Never heard them called that before. :signLOL:

Yes, absolutely a matter of personal taste re 'telephone dial' wheels - I've always loved them on Alfa's and Lambo's etc and they are so easy and quick to clean.
No, it would be pretty impressive if I could have spotted those rims weren't originals! I just wasn't 100% about what they were.

.... *cough* "Stolen" eh? *cough*. So he replaced them with some R32 replica's :popcornsoda:
Sounds like the Monza's had a bad case of the dreaded white worm.
