A terrible terrible photo until she gets a bath and some centre caps, but I put on a set of Austin wheels today along with a fresh set of RE003's. The extra 5mm of offset pushes the track out slightly and fills the guards much better the stock Seattle rims.
These wheels have a different size centre cap so I couldn't just swap that over and will need to hunt up a new set (preferably not at the $41 odd that VW quoted (each)).
Interestingly the bolt holes are also a little narrower so the stock Mk6 locking bolt doesn't fit in so I took the opportunity to put in some shiny chrome ones instead from Mr Lug Nut.
If anyone can point me at some centre caps it would be appreciated. ECS have them for ~$12 each but shipping is the usual act of ridiculous (and with the AUD being where it is... well yeah... it makes VW pricing look not too bad)

EBay maybe your friend here.
Did your wheels not come with bolts? Often longer or different seat bolts are required.
