nothing very exciting but could be worth the swap if the deal is good :)

Solitudes look pretty nice.  Not exciting, but better than the standard gti wheels.  

And as they only came on highlines and some colour concepts they are fairly rare.

I say get them if the price is reasonable.

Also they are much easier to clean than the gti wheels ;D

Easy to clean - thats one of the first things I think about when buying alloy wheels. Had a set of multispoke ones once and they looked great. But when they were in need of a clean they could be a pain. I got rid of them because of that reason. Got sick of the time spent cleaning all the spokes on them.

I was eventually paying my nephew to clean them for me coz I couldnt be bothered!
