Hi Everyone,
This is my first post, and I am ready to order my first-ever VW. I want an SE with Performance Pack (PP).
I had a few questions, specifically about fitting these genuine VW wheels straight from the factory.
The dealership told me they "don't do that", and said the only way is take a stock GTI with the standard 18" Austins, and switch them out at the dealership. This would mean having an extra set of wheels + labor cost for installing the 18" Rotary Wheels.
Since the PP isn't even out, my hope is to put down a deposit, and have VW build the car when the PP is available, with the 18" Rotary Wheels already installed. It seems silly to have the car built with stock 18" Austins, ship the car to the dealership, remove the stock tires, and then install the VW 18" Rotary Wheels.
So I had a few questions regarding the various potential scenarios (in descending order of preference):
Thanks for any help you guys can provide!

So I had a few questions regarding the various potential scenarios (in descending order of preference):
- In your experience, can I have the car built by VW according to my specs?
- If the 18" Austins must be installed, would I be able to receive a wheel "credit", to help offset the price of the 18" Rotary Wheel?
- If I had two sets of wheels, how easy would it be to sell the the stock Austins, and how much is the going price?
