I don’t mind those, but is the centre cap replaceable with VWs? Is this a general concern or am I too finicky?

I saw these out and about today, tryna find out whether they are OEM or not.

You can always get an OEM or after market cap in there; it's quite common if the wheel has an OEM look or you're just trying to keep things more discrete.

As for whether they're OEM, well yes - for a BMW?

Yep. BMW wheel on a VW is a no-go? Will my car get keyed by a disgruntled enthusiast?

BMW wheels are generally 5x120 so you need adapters to fit them to VW (5x112). It is do-able, however adapters usually increase the offset by 25-30mm so on a Golf this is probably not going to work.
