Title: Which Wheels ??????????
Post by: The wheel man on October 31, 2008, 12:51:21 pm
Been thinking about this for the past month or so.  Since having my Monza II's replaces under warranty i have wanted to sell them and change to something a little more different.  Love the BBS style but can only afford replica's, so looked into some other designs.  Have a look at this short list ive put together and let me know your thoughts, i know they are not all good but i like to have a wide variety to choose from........

I know there are some that will be against the use of other manufacturer's wheels on a VW but i dont think its a bad thing!

Thanks in advance  :happy2:

I did think about 19's but i want top tyres and cannot afford new wheels and tyres unless i get them from work, problem with  those is that i dont like the designs enough!!  (Schhhhhh dont tell the boss)

Any pics though.........................

Yea they are available in 19" but so far the only supplier is in Japan. If you like that, what about this......

I did get a price but i can find the email.  Im asking one of my suppliers in Japan to find them for me, i think i have found a price of YEN 38,600 for the 19x8.5 5x114.3.  Would need to use an off-set bolt to get them to fit the Golf's 5x112 PCD but this isnt a problem.  Offsets available are 30, 38 & 45.  Im getting more interested in these but will depend on what price i can get them for.  Oh and you can have the orange in other colours aswell....... can i get an 'R' gimme an 'E' gimme a 'D' waddy ya get RED

They all look superb.

I reckon get the Monza reps in 19...that would make quite a statement!!

Although if they are a little bit too samey, then the 997 turbo wheels - they are pure sex!

I will ask when my man gets back to me.  From a quick search around it looks like these only come in the 5x114.3 fitment.  Nice wheel though  :happy2:

Seems like its the 19" Monza look-a-likes or the 911 reps are the way forward.  i will have to see if i can get the 911 reps from anyone now........  The ones in the pic look like a 5x130 PCD so could be a hub change  :rolleye:

OK so the price for the 19" Monza-a-likes is £330 per wheel.  the cost of shipping would depend on if i can get them into one of my containers then it would be £25!!  Too much for me but if anyone is serious i will get them for you.  This will not be through my company and i am giving you my price..... all i ask is for a Beer  :drinking: the next time im about.
