So did I get it right, that I would need to get some hubrings and it should be ok and the only problem I might have is speedo not showing correct speed?
Indeed you did.

Just do your sums first regarding the speedo. You don't want it reading 100 when your are doing 102

just about any of the VW group wheels will fit. You might even get some nice A5 wheels but the offset might be a bit agressive. Superb is probably ET50 on a 6.5" rim. You can push it out to ET40 on an 8" rim.

I haven't bought any new tyres in the last 135,000km. I've fitted 3 sets of 2nd hand rims/tyres. The most I've paid is ~$450. 2 of the sets only had 1mm of wear on them and they've been good quality Michelin or Bridgestone. Just keep an eye on Ebay & Gumtree & the forums.
