You haven't convinced me.
Also, you'll probably be going with narrower rims. The 225/50 tires will fit better on a 7" wide rim than on an 8" wide rim. Your 18" rims are probably 8" wide. Also, the tires you're talking about are 20mm narrower section. Because of that, you'd be perfectly OK going with up to 10mm less offset. If you decrease the tire width by 20mm and decrease the offset by 10mm, your car will look the same from the side. The tire sidewall on the outside will be in the same position relative to the fender opening. All the "extra space" from the narrower tire will be toward the inside, and you won't have the "big empty hole" appearance that comes with narrower tires.
And after all that, I did a quick search and found these: https://amzn.com/B0799P644Q which look like exactly what you need.
One final note. Aftermarket wheels are usually made for conical lugs. Audi (all VAG cars, VW, Seat, etc) use ball seat lugs. Mercedes Benz uses ball seats as well. Pretty much everyone else in the entire world uses conical lugs. If you get steel wheels with conical seats, you'll need lugs to match. Also steel wheels often need shorter lug bolts than alloy wheels. Sometimes the lugs you have from your factory alloy wheels can interfere with the parking brake at the rear, or rub on the wheel bearing at the front. If you need "special" lugs for your winter wheels, be sure to keep one set of the VW lugs with your spare tire. It really sucks if you have a flat, and you don't have the lugs you need to mount the spare tire. Don't ask me how I know this.
