As some of you already know, I have been lucky enough(thanks MonkGTI) to get hold of a brand new set of Black Monza II Detroit's, for my Edition 30. I have always liked these alloys and would have been my alloy of choice if I purchased my car new, and they were an option???
My car now;

And this is what it is going to look like by the end of the week (anyone feel free to photo shop onto my five door if you like.....)

Just a couple of questions;
1. Were these actually an option on the Edition 30, I know they were standard on the continent?
2. I am going to put new tyres on at the same time, I have had both F1 assys(8pS3) and Vredesteins(RS4) in the past and loved them both, I can have either, and am leaning toward the F1, do either tyre work better on the GTI? the Vreds are approx 10% cheaper, but I will pay the extra.
3. What are my standard wheels with conti tyres ( 2 x 4-5mm, and 2 x 7-8mm) worth? All excellent condition bar a couple of minor chips, and would you sell them or do you think my car would be harder to shift with the Detroit's?
Cheers in advance as always
-
the vredesteins arent as good as the assys going by the vredestein thread on SCN after several members opted for a set due to a special discount price.
-
I think they were an option on the ed30. I much prefer these wheels to the pescaras.
-
I think they were an option on the ed30
You are correct... :smiley:
-
Thank you, I know they were a dealer fit option, I have just never seen an ED30 with them on or for sale!
-
IIRC They where only standard fitment on the Edition 30 in main land europe, they had to be dealer fitted in the UK :happy2:
-
They are gonna look awesome on your steed Oli :drool: :drool:
-
Cheers Tom.
Anyone got an idea as to what my 'old' edition 30 wheels are worth with conti tyres?? And anyone after some Edition 30 Pescara's
-
New wheels look stunning, I might be interested in the ED30's.
Let me know what you are after.
I have no idea wat they could be worth.

I never had this option on mine and mine was ordered new.
HTH :happy2:
-
A mate of mine has a Euro import ED30 in Silver which came with detroit's standard..
Oli,Did you get tire prices from Simon?
-
No, I run my own garage, so got them from one of my suppliers.

Also interested mate for the Wifeys Touran. :happy2:
-
I reckon you would be best selling the pescara's seperately. :happy2: :happy2: :happy2: I might have one or two :wink:
-
That pic with the black monza's looks very, very nice mate. I think the United Grey is the best colour i've seen with the black monza's by far :happy2:

Well I've had a ridiculously long day today- left home at 515am caught the 745am flight from gatwick to Glasgow picked up a mk6 Gti dsg, then drove onto county Durham, then onto Rhyl in north Wales and finally back home to Bognor!!! Just got back now, having covered 650 miles in the golf, but more of that later.
Most importantly, I have picked up my new detroits, and have some new F1s waiting to be fitted first thing.
My pescaras will be going up for sale complete with Tyres, see the for sale section.
-
Well... :party:
I need to see pics of these as I am desperately in need of some... I would have knocked the tyre place out of bed by now getting them fitted lol :jumpmove:
-
Just a quick couple of pics - I love it - I have also put F1 Assymetrico's on.

Yes Yes Yes! very nice indeed :happy2:
-
Wow they do look good on Steel Grey! :happy2: :happy2:
( I hope Mr PG isn't looking! :laugh:)
P.S. They look even better with a 10mm spacer! :wink:
-
Looks really good mate. :grin:
-

:drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:
I hate you...
Seriously though they are perfect, I want some soo much but want a fuel pump too :rolleye:
-
:congrats:
In total agreement, Huffs look Fab :happy2:
-
so much better :congrats:
-
Quality :wink:
-
Sorry matey you really need to post some better pictures.
A similar dark grey ed30 parks at Dorking station most days with the same wheels and just looks absolutely fab, your pictures just don't do them justice enough.

I love it! Suits the Steel Grey very well - Which is why I took this pic in 2008 : -

They were quick iPhone pictures, it gets valeted on a Friday, so I will get come better pics then!!!
And thank you everyone for the positive comments, I am really pleased with them.
-
They look stunning against the grey. Great choice. :happy2:
You wouldnt think that Monza's could look good in black, as all the contrast and design definition goes when they are all one colour, and yet the still look the business. :love:
-
I have just had a set of these wheels delivered :jumpmove: :jumpmove:
I have no centre caps, is there only the vw ones that will fit as I have been told that they are a different size to BBS ones, even though they are made by BBS :rolleye:
-
WOW, they look the buisness, massive improvement :drool: :drool:
-
....
Superbe! I really think that VW should have supplied these on all the Ed30's as standard. The basic 'Monza' telephone-dial design is uniquely Mk5 GTI (now Mk6) and these black ones look great.

Good thinking, Oli :happy2: - Someone is bound to want some.
