Wouldn't you keep them so that when you eventually sell your car you don't end up selling $4000 worth of wheels with it. Those CH's would compliment many cars I would imagine - of course offset & stud pattern permitting.

Also, if you ever plan on going to the snow you'd want those 17's in case you need to fit chains.

I find these wheels don't work on the MKV/VI

They look horn on some cars but not others, because of offsets.
Sometimes the wheel is flat-faced, and other times it's dished.
For example:

Just my $0.02 anyway

I can't put chains on the wheels as they are?

Probably not, and you'd ruin the rims to boot! Tyre profile is too low.

I would keep the original wheels and tyres. You will not really get a fair amount back for them (IMO) and you will want the stockers for when you sell.

Almost noone would buy a car like yours (not a GTI) with BBS wheels.. it'd be a bloody hard sell I think.

Oh and that's not dish... this is dish. My TTQ..

[Mr Messy]

Those TT wheels are sick!
I was thinking more about the concave look of some BBS fitments as opposed to others.

hehe, was waiting for someone to say that cause i don't like them either.
The only BBS wheels i like the look of are the CM model, but that's just me.
Personnally, i think the center part of the wheel is too big, and I generally don't like wheels with curly spokes. Straight spokes for me.

But each to their own.
