Parf7 Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Were the 17" Santa Monica Alloy wheels a VW option? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Yes, if you look just here you will see what cars they were offered as an option on. Golf Speccs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfs6 Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 They were an optional extra of most mk4 Golf's and Bora's. Also came with factory sports suspension as a part of the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, Santas and LBs are very different....the LBs are very rare here though. These are LBs: EDIT: Still getting used to this forum LOL!

shao_khan Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 THanks - I didnt realise what they were, they are quite common on GTIs I think, forget which version.

It really suits the Boras lines...if you can find them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP27 Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 I had factory fitted Santa Monica's on my old V6 4Motion and had real problems with them. The lacquer kept splitting on the Grey/dark painted sections and I had them resprayed under warranty. Liked the look of them though. TP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The replicas are ten times worse, but the same problem applies to the BBS RCs on Anniversaries. Really sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
