I think you'll give up the aerodynamic advantage of the VW wheels in added weight and width.

If you have some low-buck steelies you can mount tires on, go with the narrowest tires that will safely hold the car shiny side up, mount some smooth wheel discs and go from there.

For that matter, cheap steelies for the winter tires, too. And more smoothies.
