How about the New Volk LE37SL? Beauties.

Quite the price range though... not sure I would have Enkeis and Axis in with Volk and BBS...

Re: wheel experts help me pick a wheel.

Overall theme you are going for? Plan on slamming the shiet out of the car? or a moderate drop? Reason I ask is because some of the wheels you posted above come in pretty weak fitments....while others can be had with mega poke on all 4 corners.

All these wheels are so different, and without knowing your plans for the car, the theme of the car, your goals for it, the color, the stance you want, etc. I can't really make a recommendation.

In general I will say its hard to pull of a lot of traditionally-Japanese wheels on a MK4 VW. It can be done, but it's not usually just a matter of slapping wheels on the car.

If you really don't have a direction planned for the car the BBS on your list is the safest bet and will look great.

The riskiest choice and hardest to pull off will be the enkei RP03 because it's a multi-bolt and not really a european favored style. The gram light will also be hard to pull off for the same reason. I would almost go as far as to say they are bad choices.

The Axis wheels are a little bit played out and safe, but never reached classic status. So I would avoid, even though they are likely the most affordable wheel on your list.

The remaining wheels could be great as part of a well executed themed car build, or they could be huge disasters, it depends on how you will go.
