Thinking of changing my wheels to 19s, after much searching I've narrowed it down to these. Thoughts or any alternative ideas appreciated.

Be prepared for a much firmer ride, after buying a GTD with Santiago's I would never have them again without DCC being added, one dealer I spoke to will not order the 19's without DCC.
I also believe that VW lower the suggested tyre pressures for a 19 inch wheel equiped non DCC chassis

Thanks for the comments and advice, decided to stick with the Nogaros but gonna get them refurbished maybe a touch darker shade of grey.

The car looks nice enough as it is and after hearing how bad the ride will be from numerous people I'll save myself a couple of grand!

I test drove a 7.5 Golf R with 19's/DCC, in comfort mode along a 30 mph bumpy road the ride was like a magic carpet, but...............

With the comfort mode approaching a roundabout with those heavy painted markers to make you think you are going too fast the car reacted very badly as if there was no damping at all,

I have never heard so much noise from under a car, I am tempted to say VW have that aspect totally wrong, it was verging on the slightly dangerous to be honest, I went from being impressed with the DCC to the complete opposite
