+1, they look like the MV3's you got on a facelifted E46 3 series. Nice, but not very VAG.

Biffobear - I agree that it's very much a case of each to their own.
But I really don't think I'm a conformist snob just because I happen to think that the Monza is a key part of the look of the GTI.

............sorry but they are horrible. :sick:

we are talking back in the late 1980s here. They were a very expensive and hard to come by wheel. In fact if you had seen a set they were most likely replicas. If you can take your mine back to that period... everyone else was rollin on 3 spokes.

i used to think Monzas were ugly especially before i owned a GTI but they grew on me over time and since owning a GTI i think they look great - unique and so much more interesting and classy than a whole host of OEM alloys on various other cars  :smiley:

Not a winning statement I imagine on a MK5 GTI forum but ETTO. Have Pescara's on my ED30 but liked the Monza's on my MK5 GTI. The Monza 2's are something else as well.

Not standard but OEM++ ............ mmm.

19" Rays W12 Reps,  rarer than rocking horse poo!! Sorry to OP, I digress.  :happy2:
