I'd really appreciate seeing pics of member's Laser blue wheel options.
My new one has 17 Monza's, which is a blessing as I don't have the diamond finish 'refurb OEM or powder-coat?' conundrum to worry about. But obviously they need to go. It looks like a Dinky toy at the moment :signLOL:
I'd really like a black or gunmetal centre with a polished or silver rimI think, but itwould be great to see some pics to get some ideas. I did start looking through the wheel thread, but there is so much to sift through.
Thanks,
Ian :happy2:

Thanks Andrew, that looks awesome, the kind of look i'm considering. Is that not shadow blue though?

It's just a dark picture, Neo's car is definitely laser blue.

As Andrew said its definately laser blue. If you look through mine and neo's threads you will see depending on the light depends on what shade of blue you see.. It goes from being a light as in my sig to as dark in Neo's pic above. Absolutely brilliant colour.
As for wheels I really want some BBS CS5's but they don't make them in the right offset for the MK5 (but they will fit a MK6 :fighting: )

I know its not lazer, and I know its been done before, but you can't beat CH's on a mk5, bright silver would look great :happy2:

I guess that means one less Shadow Blue on the forum - they're getting rarer :grin:

I have CF’s fitted which are the same ET40 offset as these and got no problems with rubbing when driving low. 215/35 profile tyre

I'm steering clear of Monza 2's because of the refurb issues. :happy2:
My Monza IIs are powder coated silver which matches the colour of my car which eliminates the hassle of the white worm though it does mean when i post pictures of them i get some forum members telling me i should "treat myself to some Monza IIs' :fighting2: :grin:
Anyhow they'd look pretty good on a laser blue so long as you kept them clean :smiley: You could even go for a smoked colour like Robin has on his car though that's red but i'd imagine it would still work well with the blue

But I'd need to first get some second hand Monza 2's needing a refurb(300-400), and then get them refurbed and powdercoated (another 300).
It would probably be cheaper to get some already refurbed, and then I could have diamond cut finish, which is an option I suppose. :happy2: Other option is BBS CH reps.

Mine are Audi Northern Blue, ditch the diamond cut all ends in tears. Old pic
