Looking for a pic of a Scirocco (preferably candy white) with the following wheels, or ones very similar. Alternatively if someone is good on photoshop could they photoshop them onto a Scirocco to give me an idea.
Thanks in advance

Perfect. Decision now is 18s or 19s. Sensible me says 18s as the roads round me are poor but 19s look so good.
Gloss black looks very good but I've been there on my last car and they were a nightmare to keep looking good.

19" 100%, i can guarantee if you get 18" you will regret it.
Gloss black look amazing when cleaned i must say. I did a lot of research before i purchased my wheels and wouldn't have any others in there place.

You will kick yourself if you get 18's mate!
I'm almost concerned that 19's are too small now! Haha

all depends on whether you want performance or styling. each to their own

19's granted look better.
But with the state of the roads around most of the country id just be worried about damage to the tyres or alloys.
18's for me

It is a dilemma but I think I'm erring towards 19s now. Sidewall height on a 18 (running a 235/40R18) would be 94mm while on a 19 (running 235/35R19) would be 82.25mm. Not a huge reduction really. Or that's what I'm slowly convincing myself.
As for performance it's derv so performance isn't what it was bought for. I have another car for that.

Do you have to worry about re-calibrating the speedo when changing wheel size? I want to go from 17s to 18s.

depends on youre tyre thickness. if going up 1 inch, but having a lower profile tyre, does it matter much?

They do look very good indeed!
I have ordered a set of rims already though. Volkswagen Motorsport ones, 19" in anthracite.
