I have a set of 16" i bought for my GTI that didn't because of the brakes for sale. I'll sell you them for 650$
Thanks for the offer but I think I'm leaning towards the 15's.

Only reason he would've told you that is if you have bigger calipers and rotors making 15s not fit... which on the standard golf isn't the case, don't know about GTI if they can run 15s, but the golf R definitely can't
So I followed up and my tire specialist got back to me. He deals with two suppliers and he told me that neither supplier has a 15” wheel listed for the car I have. He will follow up with them again on Monday to confirm. He mentioned that previous year Golfs were able to take 15” wheels but that it was possible that this year's model could come with larger brake rotors which would not accommodate a smaller tire. I've worked with him in the past and he's always been professional as is the case right now. He may be right or he may be just misinformed. I did a google search for my car with 15” winters and was not able to find a match or anyone who has this setup.
Here you go, 15" steel wheels from Costco for $55 each. They're even hubcentric.

Did you not read my last post? I just told you there are OEM 15 inch VW 5x112 steel wheels and that I have a set for my car... I even gave you the link with pictures of my car on 15 inch rims. Your "tire specialist" probably doesn't deal with OEM rims and most aftermarket manufactures don't make steelies...
The size of the rotor on the base Golf tsi is 288mm, doesn't matter if its a trend line golf or a highline, they all have the same brake rotor size. This rotor size fits a 15 inch rim, which makes sense because the trend line golf comes with 15 inch aluminum rims.
I don't know what else to tell you other then go buy yourself a set of 15 inch steelies from VW and then a set of 195 65 15 tires somewhere
Didn't even think they had steelies for VW fitment... Even better as they're cheap!
Congrats on your golf!! I’m also from Ottawa and purchased a highline a few months ago. Mine are normally 18” but im running 205/55/16 in the winter. I drove on sunday when it was pretty icy under all that snow and she handled it fine!
For reference, here are the 15 inch steel wheels from Costco on my car: https://i.redd.it/zsvg2mzf36xz.jpg
