In the real world is there any insurance difference between:

Factory fit oem alloys

Dealer fit oem alloys

DIY Oem alloys bought of ebay

I know officially any accessory other than standard equipment should be declared, but in reality would an insurance company know or care about the difference between a standard 15" alloy and a 16" oem alloy?

They'd "Know" about them if you had an accident, as insurance assessor noted them and they were looking for some reason to query your claim.

But would anyone notice or care about 16" vw wheels vs 15" vw wheels

They could have been a dealer or factory upgrade which I can't imagine anyone declares...
