You might be better off getting both wheels painted on the one side if you can't get a correct code but most good wheel refurbishers should be able to get a match.
With regard to your jerky gear changes it could just need calibrating with VCDS 6-Speed Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG/02E) - Ross-Tech Wiki if you have a cable or another member near you could do it for you. As for the squeak it may be a belt or tensioner-again someone would need to check whilst you...
