Brake discs Centric or OEM Volkswagen
if you're going to take it back to the dealership, ask them to mount a different set of wheels and tires to eliminate that finally.
also, when was the last time your brake disks were replaced? it's not uncommon for brake dust to build up in the rotor and cause an imbalance. simply use compressed air or water to clean out the inside of the disk and see if it improves.
I’m a big fan of centric brand rotors and pads. I’ve used their economy rotors with their premium pads and hardware kits on several cars with excellent results. My in-laws are known to ride on your bumper with enough room to catch a credit card between them and the car in front of them and they’ve had no complaints.
My current brake pad and rotor are a centric blank and csg sprint C1s, and they’re great. Good bite, nice pedal modulation, great cold performance, and won’t overwhelm a daily grind tire. My previous were centric drilled rotors and pmu club racer pads. They were fucking amazing, but on a commute they were totally overkill (and fun) and I felt like they only made sense when I ran R comps. Otherwise it was ABS lights all day.
just as i hoped my front rotors were warped. new oe ones solved my problem now no shaking from the front.

I've had good luck with either Centric GCX or Power stop Evolution Geo-met coated.
Centric GCX.
My Golf R's brakes look like this as well. I have 10K + miles on them but they have been like this since 2-3K miles. I'll say it's "normal". Even though i haven't experienced it with other cars that i can recall.
I have the same pad compound but I end up just buying some cheap Centric blanks. The rotors end up taking in so much heat that they'll end up with a crack here and there. I just end up tossing the rotors and pads, they're relatively cheap so it doesn't bother me much.
Here's a shot of my rear rotors. They both look like this. To quote my service manager "we looked at some other cars and they all look like this, so this looks like normal wear". Not buying it. My b6 passat has 180K miles and those rotors are super smooth.
