My Volks are the Dash White OEM original finish (not aftermarket coating). Sadly they do not have knurled beads. However tire imbalance has never been a real issue for me and I melt the wheel weights off at least one tire each time anyway, so I either let ride till the tire is dead or I just throw it back on the balancer.
I have also tried cleaning the tire mounting grease/goop off the rubber and wheel before inflating a new tire and setting the beads but I don't think it helps much. I thought the extra lubrication might be adding to the slippage.
