Going to bling out my Passat Wagon - help me choose some better wheels!

Here's the Wagon!

It's got 15" steel wheels with plastic hub caps, I'm going to use those for winter tires. Looking to get something a little nicer to use for the other three seasons of the year. I'll be tinting the windows to help cut down on the sun that the black leather interior absorbs. I'm only looking at VW OEM wheels. Not really interested in anything else. Also look at more of an aluminum alloy finish than a chrome. Not a big chrome fan 🙂

Anywhoo....on to the wheel choices -

#1 - Simple 15"
#2 - 17" GTI/GLI style wheels
#3 - 15" Passat wheels
#4 - 17" S4 Style wheels

Or throw in an example of your own 🙂
 
I wanted to try and find some 16" because they are more "bold" than 15", but cheaper to put a tire on than 17's. But no such luck 🙁

I chose the second #2 which I assume you meant to be 3 😛

Doh! Thanks for pointing that out! 😀
 
Bah, get 17's. Though, my last (really my first) set of tires cost me $580. However, the handling improvment is freakin' awesome.

Choice #2 btw.
 
Have you checked out tirerack.com ? You'll get to see what the rims will look like on your passat... and they have really good prices. I dont like any of the rims you chose as options though 🙁
