I'm with Hurdy's suggestion. These are the shizzle. Particularly when shown off on the APR at Worthersee.
Problem is that they're a 40 offset so might not look so great on the front but they are lovely:

Checked today and BBS can machine them easily to ET45 for a small extra charge and possibly ET50. However, the CH Silver is available in ET50. It is also a more expensive wheel.

I see quite a bit of chat about ET45 etc, any chance of an idiots guide? How do i know what my wheels would be if i wanted some nice BBS wheels (which i do!)

Idiots guide:
mk5 and mk6 Golf, 7.5 or 8 inch wide wheel you want an offset ideally between ET50 and ET45. Couple of mm either side and you're probably going to be okay with standard suspension.

Most BBS wheels for Golf 5 & 6 fitment will be 8x18 (or 8x19) and ET44. They sit perfect.
CHs are expensive, look better on mk5 Golfs than mk6s due to the fact the mk6 looks best with a wheel where the spokes come right to the edge of the rim. In my not very humble (but correct!) opinion.

BBS are willing to machine wheels to the correct ET for a small charge.
And, who are you calling an idiot? Cheeky b!tch. 
It's Jim. That's ok. 

Don't like the CH silver anyway or the CK silver anymore.

Cool because after having been tempted by Hurdy, I visited the APR site and fished out the shot I posted a little earlier. Asker, please could you give me the details of who'd do that offset because those are definitely going to be my next set of wheels.

When I rang them earlier, the guy I spoke to not only completely failed to mention this, he tried to sell me on some wheels that were 

Happy to do a group buy but when I spoke to them, their 'sales person' said there was a stock out in Germany but it sounds like I got the tea boy answering the phone.

I spoke to Michael today. There are two other's but their names escape me. The owner is called Andrew. I spoke to one of the other two guy's (with very Irish names) and he was ok. I'll call them again tomorrow.

Now to convince Jim to buy them too so 3 sets will get a bigger discount.
Hello Jim, are you looking?
