Urgent Wheel help !!!
" My heart is in tuning, but my arse is in debt "
first question - what model of volk ? .. Te37's have a square inner edge so will fit over brakes better than other 17's ... but not all Volks have the same inner profile.
I'm not home so can't measure my calipers .. but with my r34 brakes I still have good clearance.

The looks are copied, but the actual structural design isn't afaik
Probably due to the metal alloy used when making the wheel, cheaper material means more off it to be as strong, hence less clearance 
As said though, you can get around it using a more manly offset. IIRC mine are ET30 odd, the ROTA I tried in 17" with the same offset wouldn't fit, but it would if it was something like ET20. That extra 10mm is enough to clear the edge of caliper
