Title: BBS Calito 2 piece on a Gti and how much are my Monza II's worth ?
Post by: true-blue on May 04, 2009, 06:06:59 pm: Has anyone seen a MK5 Gti wearing 18'' BBS Calitos AKA special order Audi Multi-spoke Split rims ? Can anyone direct me to a photo of a golf wearing these please, been searching but can't find one think it would look good.

Also, what would my Monza II's be worth second hand with four quality tyres (brand new avons on the front / dunlops on the rear with good tread) ?? - wheels need a refurb but are genuine and straight.

Thanks for any input. :happy2:

in regards to your Monza's my guess would be Ã‚Â£450 to 550 due to them needing a refurb, that would take them into the very common bracket, so somebody wanting them could buy a set that is really tatty and get the same results as with yours. :smiley:

But thanks for trying :happy2:

Post by: Top Cat on May 04, 2009, 07:46:11 pm: I think they would look a lot better in a darker colour. :happy2:

Yes they are 18" rims!

Post by: true-blue on May 05, 2009, 05:13:32 pm: I really can't decide if I like them or not, would look better with the car sitting lower I think.

Was also looking at the 19'' finichi's (?) in the for sale section, looked at them loads of times and not too keen on them on the white car but think they might look cracking on my black 5 door (prefer the oem+ look really but think these 'might' look wicked on a lowered black 5 door)

Post by: Top Cat on May 05, 2009, 05:16:04 pm: If you PM Verry cherry who owns the wheels, he is great with photoshop and can shop both sets of rims on your car if you provide him with a piccie. :happy2:

Post by: true-blue on May 05, 2009, 08:39:37 pm: the ones I've got my eye on are 18's (unfortunately)

Post by: true-blue on May 06, 2009, 04:21:40 pm: Hi VC,

any chance you could scale the rim's down to 18's (if it's a quick job) - need to make a decision on these tonight and I think at the size in the pic they look great, but might loose too much impact at 18.

I can't really tell from the blue golf on page 1 as it's not a gti, it's a different colour and it sit's higher.

Thanks in advance if you can do this. :wink:
