Monza ii wheel refurb
« on: May 02, 2011, 09:14:11 am »
The time has come to get my wheels refurbed. Not sure whether to refurb them as original, dark grey or satin black. What do you think looks best? :smiley:

Have you had a look in the mk5/6 wheel thread?

You can get them done OEM.
OEM but with black inserts.
smoked chrome (no risk of whiteworm)
matt black with chrome lip (like the european ed30s had)
gloss black
gloss black with red lip (like a few here have done)
white.

Depends on the colour of your car.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I am in the same situation (Black GTI althoug 5 dr) so intrigued to see what other people have to say as well.

I was thinking of going to go witht the black inset but the risk of whiteworm has put me off so probably smoked chrome for me.

I'm swaying towards going for all satin black at the moment.

Nice one, I have emailed them.

Just a bit concerned when they are mobile. Anyone had their wheels refurbed by them?

Cheers!

Its that time of year where the sun is out and the wheels need to be at there best. I am considering satin black with chrome tips as I think OEM wheels look great but like 'Jordan' you know they will let you down in the end.

Wheelworks in Crawley quoted me about £250 i think.

Does anyone know of any other good places near Guilford?

£250, that is cheap compared to the quote Lepsons gave me of £320 + VAT.
