Your wheels look in really good nick from the photo. Are you doing this just for cosmetic reasons? I love the standard look of the Monza 2's.

That pic was taken about 18mths ago, they were ok then with only slight nicks here and there but over the last 12mths the white worm has taken hold big time and the laquer is shot to pieces now on all four wheels. I love the OEM look but cant stretch to that at the moment.

That's where I was with the old GTi. I didn't know whether to go for it at 110 a corner or go smoked chrome, which was considerably less and more durable than diamond-cut. Furthermore, diamond cut can only be refurbed once as the Monzas are hollow and the process removes too much metal apparently.

When I broke up with my ex, she took the car so I didn't have to worry about it anymore!

Here's my '55 plate GTI


I wasn't a great fan of dark wheels until I got this car !
They're sprayed VW Mountain Grey LH7Z if you're interested.
I also agree that black doesn't look as good, you don't seem to get any definition to be able to see the wheel detail.
