Title: Standard alloys?
Post by: Wallpaper_01 on December 13, 2011, 04:13:06 pm: Hi Just got a new 2005 GTI in Silver. My favourite thing I think about the Car is the 18in Monza alloys that came with it. I think 18in are an optional extra but I just love these alloys and possibly could be my favourite.

After looking through the members gallery's ive noticed on here that a lot of people are changing these for other alloys such as BBS, I liked the BBS when I had my MK2 but I dont think the MK5 suits as well as the MK2 did.

Does anyone else really like the Monza's or is it just me ha!

And risking the rath of many, really not into the pescaras, the big 5 spokes look king :driver:

If i'm honest i do prefer the Pescaras as imo the suit the ED30 a treat but i do love my anthracite Monzas too!
