Are these the Broolkyns? In here they come as standard. 7.5 Jx17, isn't it? The offset is 49 I think...
No, if you check the link you can see they're Borbet alloys, CC might be their model designation
Excuse my ignorance, but could anybody explain the rim parameters in addition to the likes of say 17x7.5j i.e "offset" etc.
If you're going 7.5 x 17 assuming you've got the PP brakes you'll need somewhere between about ET51 and ET41 as a very educated guess. If going for aftermarket wheels make sure they don't have a very curved spoke design that might foul the brake calliper.
Most OEM Golf, Passat, Scirocco, Touran etc wheels will fit ok; Passat and Scirocco wheels will have a much lower offset so you'd need to be careful if you're using snow chains as well.
