White Monza's would be brave.

Google image search brings up loads of examples for Black Monza's.

I had white wheels on my Civic Type R. NIGHTMARE  :sick:

They get coated in brake dust instantly and show every spec of tar.

Anthracite / gun metal gets my vote  :happy2:

My 18" monza's are the original polished finish face with the grey inserts on my black Gti and nothing works better in my oppinion, love my wheels, suit the mk5 so well

Loving the smoked chrome ones. Mine will be refurbished in a few weeks and won't be keeping them diamond cut.

my need a refurb, and been toying with different ideas, but i think VW got it right the 1st time, diamond cut with grey inserts...!

just got to decide who is going to refurn them now..! Pristine don't recommend diamond cut again due to white worm coming back, they recommend silver paint/grey inserts....but i'm not sold...

Anyone got any pictures of silver with grey inserts?

And as for white worm, my car is a 57 plate with 68k miles and the wheels are still in almost spotless condition, the original owner assures me they never been refurbed and he just looked after them with regularly cleaning/sealing them with decent wax and not kerbing them etc so im affraid that as good as pristine are that I have to disagree with what they said about white worm!

Whenever i seal mine i also remove the centre caps to do round the centre bore too!
Yes Polished finish is high maintainance to keep them looking sharp but so worth it compared to any painted finish  :smiley:
