My new MK6 GTI Wheels ;0)

VW should have designed a monza 3 for ed 30 with sutle differences 

....VW did -

It was the all black Monza, but they didn't do it for the UK

Got some of those too 

I know what you mean about making it look like a GTI, might give the odd ED30 owner a shock if they think it is 

[Hurdy]

 

They do look rather stunning

[Greeners]

The Rimming king??  What's all that about then??

The wheels look great.  Very nicely finished.

When they machined them, they must have taken off some material from the face, has this made the lip any thinner?

Very very nice..........

Very good point Mr Balloon  Mark and I were looking at the wheels on Saturday and noticed the lip wasn't as wide. It also give's a definate end to the inserts on the edge of the wheel which I like. Plus they must be lighter now too

Wow, they look awesome Nath, looking forward to seeing them next week

....But I thought yours were glossy black and the VW ones (in the pic ^) are almost matt but slightly satin.

[Greeners]

They were like that when I had the car


Wanted the red lip and wasn't keen on the Matt finish 

[RedRobin]

....

Yeah, the matt finish would have suited the metallic black GTI/Ed30 much better imo.

I know what you mean Robin but the dealer had made a shoddy repair on two of the wheels and I wasn't happy with them as with the matt finish they looked a different colour.
I may get them changed back to Matt in the future, but I love the way they gloss ones sparkle in the sunlight

Oh you are sh*tting me! Those black Monzas look soo much better than the Pescaras. As I've said before, VW should have kept the Monzas for the ED30 and used the Pescaras on the stock GTI. Or at least given us some lush ones like Vorx or similar.

i think they considered them to extreme for the UK market, and was worried it would affect sales

correct, but then neither does the majority of VW GTi owners  , just us special lot

This raises the interesting question of what percentage of GTI owners are 'enthusiasts'? (Defining people like us as 'enthusiasts').

Judging by the percentage of other GTI drivers I see on the road who don't acknowledge a wave (or is it simply English reserve?), it's a sad indication. I guess that for some, the GTI badge only indicates a different model of Golf and merely satisfies their badge snobbism.
