not bad. keep this in mind:

1. wheels with outer lips tend to look smaller than wheels in which the spoke goes straight to the wheel edge. While these are 17s they may, visually, look like a smaller wheel due to the lip.
2. the offset of 40 is not very agrressive on the B6 and the wheels will sit well within the wheel well. Stock OEM 17s are an ET43 IIRC and a good place to be for an agressive stance IMO is an offset between 35-30.
3. Do a bit of research before pulling the trigger. Cheap isn't cheap if the finish is bad or the wheel bends easily due to poor quality.
Everyone's got their own budget. No need to justify what works for you. Good luck.
