19" Monza alloys

[Mk5 GTian]

@ Monte, Jeez your car looks blo*dy awesome on those Monzas! 

[BeezerDiesel]

I'm pretty certain The Bruce has/had a set of these Italian reps on his car. I'm well tempted with a set of 19" Monza Shadows for my car too as I've had my BBS CKs on for a couple of years now and have got a bit bored of them! (Plus they attract just a little bit too much attention).

The 19" Monzas/Detroits are really popular in Germany

Be careful with aftermarket alloys that are not well known for the durability. At my old work they sold a few cars with 'cheap' aftermarket alloys and they have cracked and under law had to replace them costing a few £££.

Some 19" Rims on a BMW split on the rears and all 4 22" rims on a Q7 split  

Very True.  

There are so many many cheap chinese replica alloys on eBay.co.uk  

If you want a quality set you will have to spend a bit more than £400.

These ones on eBay.de (german eBay) are more expensive but High quality Italian ones that are TuV certified and they won't buckle or crack when whisper pothole to em

That's the link I have been searching for!!! Cheers yet again 

Looking at £750.00 for a set delivered then which is not too bad!
Also my cars in black magic and the wheels look like shadows with black painted inners exactly what I need!
Offset is correct at 45 for a 8 x 19 I believe.

Can anybody give me a link from LS CarDesign for a set of 18" Monza Shadows?

Cheers Guys,

Have a look at Bruce's GTI  the 19" Monzas look amazing on a black Gti. 

....and yes 8J ET45 is the best size and offset whether 18" or 19" 

[the bruce]

Yeah, I was running them and they look exacly as OEM Volkswagen in every detail, just they're 19".  

I got them from SAT-Autosport, but LS-Cardesign sell exactly the same.


There's only two things:

1. they're heavy: about 14.X kgs
2. the mounting surface is also clear coated


The weight isn't as heavy as the A6 20-spoke BBS/Speedline are (about 16 kg), but close to 11 kg
would be nice even if they would be more expensive.
The clear coated mounting surface (where it is bolted to the disc bell) needs to be sheer metallic,
but of course no issue to sand it.

any update on this topic

how much discount would a group buy get ?

[MightyMullet]

19" was not an option. Postage (according to the ebay link) is €99. To organise a group buy someone would need to contact the seller on ebay or find someone else that will sell them as a large bulk (unlikely) a quick google search has told me there is no seller of 19" monzas in the uk! Remember the best price isnt allways the one to go for, theyll be cheap because theyre made cheaply, which as thats your contact with the road you dont want. Most of this has been mentioned in the thread. 

Heres what can happen with fakes

Gives you something to chew on :)

^^^^ 

[the bruce]

In future I'll be avoiding reps. Nevertheless Detroit 19" should be stronger than
those crappy chinese BBS reps. They're just a bit heavy.
The Italian 19" detroits also come with a TÜV certificate which make them road
legal. Chinese reps don't.

 

[nath]

  that wheel is shocking !    if replica alloys come with a TUV approval what does that mean in terms of quality ?

[MC71]

^^^^ it means they will be better than good. TUV is the German safety testing organisation,  If these are good enough for the Germans then that's good enough for me.
