    I'll use my tyres that come with scirocco for now and then change them out to 245 or 255's later. Now to wait for the reply email on shipping costs.
    I would love to see your ride with those rims! I'm not looking to get a white one but white+dark tint+black rims might convince me...

    This is true.

    Being so indecisive I looked at the black option as well and have photoshopped some rims, lowering (25mm) and tint just to get a feel for them.



    Think ill stick with 19's as I do like to drive hard through the hills and would hate to grind a rim!

    Decided to go with the ETA BETA rims for now. A mere 9.4kg's each!

    Went with the matte black and chrome version rather than polished black.



    Now to wait the 4 - 6 weeks

    Does anyone know what we need to do about the tyre pressure sensors?

    There are no sensors.... tyre pressure monitoring is done as part of the ABS, EBD in that it monitors individual wheel speeds (against another 1000 odd conditions) and picks up differences.
    When tyre pressure is low the rolling diameter is different, therefore wheel speed will be different.
