Or do you just play golf? That's another way to swing it... no pun intended.

I tell my wife “out golfing” when I pull out my Golf-R. She knows what I mean.

I prefer the 19's. I think they just look more aggressive.

Looks aggressive for sure, but also rides pretty aggressive in areas with road surfaces that are poorly maintained. There is a huge difference in ride quality between the original 19" and my 17" winter set.

I don't find it bad at all where I am. I do keep it in comfort mode for suspension and race mode for everything else. Delaware roads are 50/50. I guess I am just used to it as all my cars have had at least 19's and low profile tires, like my M4, etc. No question when I put my 18" winters on the ride is a little smoother.

Did VW's designers see pics of your car and go "Yeah the Mk8 R needs wheels like those"

Mk7.5 should have come with these instead of the Englishtowns.

I actually like the ETs. Though, I bought my R with the Prets. Love those even more.

Well they did come from the VW designer's haha. They are 2021 Passat R wheels.
