best wheels for a gti....?
« on: July 05, 2011, 08:15:20 pm »
what would you say in your opinion is the best wheel choice for a GTI?
i love the monzas but keep finding myself putting my BBS CH back on...torn between the 2 as they both give 2 totally different looks!

What size are your CH's? I prefer the CH's to be honest!

That's what I thought. Either way Monza IIs look best, Nice and OEM. Unless it's an Edition 30 then it's the Pescaras in their original colour.

I must admit I thought the same, something about the colouring and proportions didnt look right, personally I think Monza II as OEM especially when in top condition the lustre and contrast between the anthracite inserts and diamond cut face is immense.

i cant personally say that they are genuine Monzas, i got them from a member on this site and was told they were genuine so  i took his word, i think the photo does make them look a bit wierd but they certainly look genuine when they were on the car and had the BBS stamps on them aswel.




still undecided wethere to paint the CH's gloss black or leave them as silver  :stupid:

Personally I really like the monza II on the normal GTI.

And equally like the peskys on the Ed30.

They definitely are original Monza IIs.  :wink:

The BBS seem to be BBS VZ033, not Pescaras.


I have a set as well. But I prefer the Monza style.
