This is correct. The ETKA lists the one piece GLI BBS as 6 in. and the GTI
multi-piece as 6.5 in.

no... those are probably GLI bbs's for that price. They're 1-piece but
still look pretty cool.

225's on a 6.5" wheel would not work out too well. 205/50's work fine.
As for the speedo being off- You'll probably have to just let that one go,
since you're gonna have a tough time finding a speedo gear in that range.
It's going to be roughly a 5 percent difference, and VW didn't make that
many ring and pinion combos.
