Title: Mk6 monzas on a mk5
Post by: Gtiain on August 04, 2010, 08:14:51 am
I'm pretty sure it'll be fine to put 18" mk6 monzas on a mk5. Is this ok to do? I have 17" ones on at the minute.

Do the shadows still have a diamond cut face?  Or have VW decided that its more hassle than its worth with whiteworm issues?

The car looks great on the MK6 Monza's. Are you going to sell your Detriots, as I may be intersted?
