Looking for a set of 4 of ether of the above with or without tyres not too bothered about condition if its denvers but if its the detriots then they must be mint as they would be a nightmare to refurb as there diamond cut!

Cheers Tony

In the UK they're called Monza or Monza Shadow so you may have luck under these names also.
The shadows are the polished with black insides (Detroit) and were standard from late 2012 models onwards. Both variants are 17" on the Polo GTI 6r.

I believe on the Golf they may be 18".

Im in the uk m8 lol. I was just going by the names listed for them on ETKA at work. Its weird cause that's what they are listed as in the sales sheets (Monza/shadow Monza) but when you go into parts catalogue it lists them as Denver or detriot :? Ether way im still after a set :cry: they just never seem to come up for sale. I could only fine two sets for sale on the web and both were in south Africa!!! would of been cheaper buying new :evil:

I know and the annoying thing is they are really cheap but once you add on shipping and import duty/tax what ever its called it costs a small fortune!!! :( I never thought it would be sooo hard to get a used set of 6R polo gti alloys lol :cry:

Well at least you ain't paying close to 16Rand for 1pound or 11Rand for a 1USD...for us to import would cost us a kidney and a lung... :lol:
