Well these wheels have been on for a few weeks now, and I have been trying to hold off taking some photo's till I cleaned the car. :ashamed:
Thing is, I still haven't cleaned the car properly.....but it'll do. So as promised. :happy2:

they look awesome, they're the only replicas I've ever seen that look oem :happy2:

....No they wouldn't! They'd then lose all their subtlety. Those black insets only look good on a black GTI.. IMO.
I think they particularly suit the silver car and I don't know why they look oem and not replica.

I must admit I am impressed with the look and the quality of them. They are Italian made, and not the Chinese ones though. :happy2:

You can't ignore the words of a hard wired designer :grin: :stupid:

Look immense dude.
There's a few peeps around here who are after them too. Maybe you wanna have a look in the Wanted section and help them out?

Trust me they are like rockin horse poop to find. They were a regular item on German eBay last year, but even on there, there hasn't been any for a long time.
There were a few sets of 19" detroits/huffs (black monza's) on eBay.de, but I am not sure if they are the Chinese ones. :ashamed:

X4 on the gloss black inserts. IMO, would give them a lot of character. But they look great as they are too :innocent:

Sorry folks! Just expressing my honest opinion - Means diddlysquat :drinking: :happy2: :drinking:
They look stunning, monte :notworthy:
-
The look lurvley carlo! :drool:
Gloss black inserts FTW :happy2:
-
Yeah, they look great. My only real problem with them is the car kind of loses it's identity as an Edition 30. I guess you just don't expect to see Monzas on one.

I kinda know what you mean Andrew. It doesn't bother me that much though. I def think they make the car look classier/smarter.
Also, I think I am gonna leave the inserts Grey for the time being. I know they would look great in Black, (and they look a bit bigger) but overall I am happy with em as-is. :happy2:
-
Also, I forgot to mention the great deal I got on my new Conti's :jumpmove:
£480 delivered for 4 :star:

....Much more subtle and smarter with grey inserts and suits silver body better too, in my hardwired designer opinion.
The original German/European Ed30's have black Monza's. I think VW got it wrong to put the Ed30 on Pescara's in the UK. The Pescara's are a classic style of BBS but lack the GTI individuality of the Monza design, imhwdo.

Where from pls? I've just ordered some 8x19 Neuspeed RSe 14's and need tyres in the next couple of weeks.
That is a brilliant price - what size are they?

Sent you a "pm" mate. :happy2:
Sorry for the late reply. I have been in Rome at my sisters for a few weeks.
The Conti's are 225/35/19's XL and were from Rochford tyres. They have a tyre site called..........Tyresite.co.uk :laugh:
Here is a link, but I have had a look and it appears they dont have them listed anymore. When I ordered mine, it said they had 32 in stock. :confused:
I showed Gary (Gazbut) at the time and he said he might get a set too at that price and stick em in the garage.
http://www.tyresite.com/tyres.asp?width=225&profile=35&size=19
It was a great price, but when they arrived the invoice was from another company.
So it looks like Rochford (tyresite) were just the middlemen.
The invoice was actually from MICHELDEVER TYRES, and the price was even lower than what I paid at £399 :surprised:
Anyway I emailed Micheldever tyres and I asked, If I needed some more, would they be able to,
a) Cut out the middleman and deal with me direct?
b) Be able to do the tyres for the price they invoiced Rochford tyres?
A guy called Mark Bennett replied,
Hi Carlo,
We can give you a quote you at the time,
We cannot guarantee price will be the same as we have no control over Rochford tyres or have access to any off there price’s.
They would deal with our wholesale side off the company, looks like they get a very competitive price.
Thank you very much for your feed back.
Please phone nearer to the time.
Kind regards Mark.
So all I can say is give Micheldever a try and see what Mark says.
You never know.
HTH.
Carlo. :smiley:

Thanks for the PM Carlo, missed out on this deal as they must've had this price on the 32 Conti's.
No worries, I have already bought 4 Dunlop Sportmax for about the same price as they are listed on the TyreSite web page you recommended.
Thanks again.

Yup i deffo agree with RR here

Remember I am 1st in line for these monte, IF and when u decide to sell :signLOL:
They look lush :drool:
-
I agree with the grey centres, they look much more subtle. What do they weigh compared to the originals?
-
I think they look a touch too large....... :signLOL: Just my opinion....... :happy2:
