Has anyone upgraded their wheels? I went for 18’ Falun alloys instead of then steel wheels with trims. Is anyone running 20”? VW or aftermarket?

I have a 1st Edition that came with 20” Drammen wheels as standard. Even with 20”, I find the ride very satisfactory and enjoyable.

20’ drammen look fantastic. The option wasn’t available. Maybe I’ll pick a set up second hand. Can any Vw wheels be used or are they specific to electric cars?

I don't know for sure if there are specific VW ones, but mine were fitted with Pirelli Scorpion Elect - and from the marketing blurb, they have been developed for electric cars to have lower rolling resistance as well as a reinforced sidewall to cope with the added weight of the car.
