The only image I have of mine at the moment, I've only had the car a week. Anthracite Monza II's.

Liking the look off this, I'm thinkin about gettin my monzas done anthracite on my tornado gti. Could you upload some side profile pictures please?

Thanks, Craig.

Sure, I will try and take some a bit later. I am at work at the moment. Hopefully it won't be too dark. Oh, and thanks =]

Hey Craig, I managed to get some pictures this morning before work. The car is kinda dirty, but you get the idea:

Nish, none, nil, yada. Nope. Nothing. Not a sausage.

I have had no arch mods done.

Not sure what setup to do yet. 8's all round, 8's & 9's or 9's all round.

I'd be tempted to do 9's all round if I can get the ET correct for the stance I'm after (slightly lower at the front) and they will be in silver this time, went for anthracite last time.

They are going to take months to arrive as they are special order due to the stud pattern!!

9's all round would be amazing! And the monthes wait will be all worth it :)

The are the new (and as yet I available) Compomotive TH's in 8x18 & 9x18. But you can't buy them direct - you have to go via Reyland Motorsport (of cosworth fame) and are usually only available in 4x108.

I previously had an anthracite set of theirs in 8x17's on a Fabia Vrs. But I think these are going to be well into 4 figures. I'm going to call them tomorrow to see about time scales and prices!! As soon as they arrive they will be straight onto the car & pics posted up!

Cool. Just had a look on google and they look mint in the mk2 pics, although the ones in your pic look slightly deeper dish which are even nicer :happy2:

Just realised its the 9" ones that are deeper dish. Love the look of those :happy2:
