Title: just hooked me some very cheap monza 2's***Genuine***
Post by: mortygttdi on March 08, 2009, 11:20:57 pm

I was looking for ages for some monza 2's when I stumpled across some for sale for £250 so they will be either re-polished by myself or sprayed gloss black like some of the others on here...obviously they are abit banged up but nothing tat cannot be repaired. 

Will post pics when I pick them up and then again when I have them sorted.

Nathan's look stunning in gloss black. You going for gloss, silk or matt effect?

im not sure to be honest Ive got a black magic car so was thinking gloss but with the polished lip...but was also thinking maybe all silk?

Right :happy2:

Silk will probably look like the black huffs you get as standard on the Ed30 in Europe (but they have a silver edge).

Look forward to the finished article. :smiley:

Shaun they are advertised has genuine but not holding my breath for £250...If they are then thats a bonus ill have a look inside them once i get there to pick them up. Im sure on my previous original 17" gti wheels they had the vag logo and said bbs so ill be looking for them,  any thing else I should be looking for?  they dont have the original centre caps but I can get them cheap from VW

the offset is usually different on the reps, usually ET45, where as genuine 1's are ET51

Watch out if they are reps as the original VW badges don't normally fit. The Monza caps are bigger diameter than the rep caps. Mind you probably more chance of them being originals if they don't have caps as the VAG ones get the same white worm as the wheels do so likely have been binned.
