I like the Nogaros and the Austins.  The 19" wheels are too bitty and too complicated and look like a right pain to clean.

The wheels I really like aren't an option in the UK (but are in Germany, naturally) - the 18" "Rotary" wheels in anthracite:

Those VW Motorsport wheels are in the UK accessory brochure and should improve handling by being the lightest OEM wheels at 10.5Kg.

Just an observation... Just been looking at the latest Audi V10 R8... The new 19" five spoke 'Y' Design  wheels look spookily like the 19" Santiago wheels.

If they're good enough for the R8, they're good enough for the Golf :smiley:
