Would you declare the 19" wheels if you chose them as an option? Or just say it's "standard"?

Anything that comes from the factory fitted to the car should be fine in most cases although some insurers can be weird and want to know what options are fitted (i've never had this but some have), the anthracite wheels are dealer fit so not standard so in theory should be declared but not sure how many would?

Yeah I don't think many people declare mods but I think if push came to shove then if you had the alloys on your invoice for the car then you could claim they were "standard" factory fit.
Although insurance companies will probably win in the end!

I think these would be better, the "proper" VW motorsport wheels (black or anthracite) because who knows if these cheaper ones are made from pig iron.

They are nice, would be interesting to see the weight comparison. My dealer said £250 each including swapping tyres over from the factory ones...
