Title: How much should i advertise my 17inch monzas for
Post by: Tara on August 07, 2010, 04:47:48 pm
Ok so about to change the wheels on the golf soon and wondering how much i should sell my old ones before, they are good condition and the tyres are pretty good!

Somewhere between £200-£300 excluding shipping. Tyre tread depth and alloy condition are big factors.

But if you offer the buyer a date with you, you'll have to fight them off!  :evilgrin: [Sorry, I couldn't resist :happy2:]

Might be worth splitting the tyres and alloys if the tyres are really good. You'll get more that way.

Thats a good shout. If you dont need the money from the sale towards new rims, have fun on the remaining tread and get some winter tyres on the 17's and then buy whatever your after which is??

Please say Monza II's/BBS/1.2s?

Goooood choice, just make sure you give them a decent coat of wheel wax before fitting them as they are a right arse to clean.


I need my golf back  :sad1:

They are a piece of cake to clean. Right enough get them waxed, but as long as you have a decent wheel brush they're no bother.

I use the large one of these on my CHs;
