I think that you probably could have got away with the OZ wheels in that width/offset, however these wheels do look good too. Understand the quandary you were in - it's a fair few $ in rims that have to get taken off the car if you ever do get defected (but think these would have been borderline OK).

What are the specs on the new wheels?

On a side note I've been trawling through this thread and updating the first posts in this thread with all wheels/specs that Dutch has been putting up..... sort of a summary of everything in this thread in 1 page

So if you've come along later and don't want to trawl through 50 pages you can go to the first page - just be warned it's a massive page of wheels!

thanks,I still would of had the leggera's if 8" was available but thanks to this thread where Dutch77 found a German lapiz r wearing these all be it lowered and wheel spacers I would have missed these,in the uk they are the wheelbase site for £1160 compared to the rest of borbet's range around £800 so they are not budget but not in the oz leggera's £1700 pricing,I managed to drop wheelbase down to £1000 including locking nuts and bolts so very happy really,the big surprise was the colour of them taking a photo of them sent my iphone crazy as they are really bright but that might find getting a colour match difficult though.
The specs for these borbet's lw are 19"x8" et 50(think you can choose et45) weight 22lbs and the combined weight for these and Goodyear asymmetric 2 235/35/19 91y xl was 46lbs.

These definitely look like 19s to me mate, and I think they look great. A big thumbs-up from me!

thanks I'm convinced now,I walked out to the car today at work to find a gaggle of contractors looking around it,one said "nice car mate are these wheels on the options list"must get some vw centre badges now lol

Glad you agree.

Proof of the OEM look, and a nice improvement over those stock Cadiz. Keep us posted on any other mods!

Not quite a revisit as these were only part of a discussion a while back in this thread but we now have a Mk7 wearing these in more than just a side profile. Good light weight wheel from OZ's Sparco brand, available in this size in both ET38 and ET48 - no mention in the profile of this vehicle of spacers being used so assuming ET38 fitted, looks about right.

Congrats man, per the GTI thread seems like it's spreading quickly based on the glowing reviews.

ET38 with that drop, must have had some work to the arches right? Sits perfect imo.

Couldn't say for sure, but knowing what my car is like at ET48, another 10mm would look similar to how this car is sitting, particularly if it had been lowered to that level. Keep in mind these are x 8 wheels only, rather than x 8.5.

Boat anchor qualities, as fitted to some models of the Phaeton (2002-2007), but I don't mind the look.
