I think I've narrowed down some options for new wheels. I'd be looking for lighter than stock, although with initial round it's more of a budget approach so may not be 'lightweight'. Below are what I'm looking at. It'd be on a Cornflower Blue Rabbit.
Leaning towards RF03RRs, Myths, or Ultraforms. Maybe Trofeo 5s.
Konig Myth with Blue (18x8 43 offset - 21.3 lbs)
https://www.carid.com/konig-wheels/myth-gloss-black-blue-tinted-clear-coat-716929790.html? Lighter than stock, but not lightweight. Not 100% sure how this blue would look against the car's.
Revolution Racing RR07 in blue (18x8 40 offset - 25 lbs - not much lighter)
https://www.carid.com/konig-wheels/myth-gloss-black-blue-tinted-clear-coat-716929790.html? Similar to Konigs, cost a bit more, rather like the Konig pattern a bit better.
SuperSpeed RF03RR (18x8.5 offset 45 - site says 35 but they supposedly have a 45 in images on a GTI - 18.1 lbs - depending how much more the 'custom' is might see about a blue highlight like the Konigs if they're game for it)
https://www.super-speed.ca/flowform-rf03rr Either Matte Black or possibly a 'custom' gold (see below). A bit over the budget range but lightweight. Probably higher shipping.
Sparco Trofeo 5 (18x8 offset 45 - 22.6 lbs - Special/Closeout so might not be available, but they're cheaper if they are)
https://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Whe...&autoModel=Golf+GTI&autoYear=2019&autoModClar= I'm rarely the type to go for a gold wheel. So not sure about it. But with the light blue I'm thinking it might actually look pretty good. Plus one of the sites has some black and gold badges that could go well with that combo. Would that be too 'look at me' or think it'd blend well?
Enkei Icon (18x8 offset 45 - 23.55 lbs)

Konig Ultraform (gloss graphite or gold) (18x8.5 offset 42 - 18.59 lbs)
https://www.carid.com/konig-wheels/ultraform-gloss graphite-305477451.html
BBS SR Himalaya (18.8 offset 45 - out of stock for now - ? lbs - should be lighter)
https://www.carid.com/bbs-wheels/sr-himalaya-satin-gray-815415225.html
To go along with them for now I'm likely getting some Falken Azenis pretty quickly, going to try for the 245/40R18 (I think?). Mostly central/southern Cali driving on the coastal side for now. Can see about winter wheels later if needed.
