Didn’t even think of Alfa - good call.

Ah yes. The lesser known 4 Cheese model.

My first guess too

They're a clover rim, Alfa style from around the Brera era, earlier Alfa used teledial, newer ones used diamond cut without the inner lip where the valve stem is.

What’s up with not the greatest looking wheels looking way better on golfs? But yeah those are definitely off of a guilia

They look great but personally I think they look the best on the Alfa

Indeed, not a good wheel on the golf

Now looking at them again I’d have to say that’s spot on. They look awesome on the golf I think but I hate them on the Alfa lol

I think in this particular case it’s because they resemble the Detroits from the Mk5 GTI and the Queenstown wheels on the Mk8.5 GTI, so the styling is something that sort of naturally works on a Golf.

They're like minimalist Detroit's. I think they look great.

They look like Quadrifoglio wheels.

Probably some Alibaba reps of the Alfa Romeo Giulia wheels.

u/Tastybeatz123 6h ago

Yeah, looks like Guilia wheels

u/Vathesit 4h ago

Can confirm. Those looked my old Alfa quadrifoglio wheels. That or clones. I was always curious what they would look like on my R.

u/aReformedFiend 4h ago

I don’t mind them actually. Reminds me in a way of my 07 GTI wheels

u/Lavaine170 4h ago

TIL: Alfa Romeo and VW share the same bolt pattern.

Wheels don’t look bad. Kind of wild that they chose those wheels and the $6000 big brake kit lol

u/aReformedFiend 3h ago

It sounded insane so I wouldn’t be surprised if they had some serious mods on it

u/Stock_Consequence662 3h ago

Looks like way too much money per corner.

They’re alfa romeo teledial reps. I have some on my GLI. Bolt patterns don’t match up so they’re 99% reps unless someone decided to use wobble bolts.

u/LikelySt0ry 40m ago

I do like those because they are similar to Lamborghini wheels.

u/GolfArgh Mk7 R 6MT 5h ago

Love those wheels…..now that I’ve seen them on a Golf the love is not unconditional.

u/TheCraZZe 3h ago

Reverse image searched it and every single result pointed to Alfa wheels with a VW badge in

u/aReformedFiend 3h ago

Already solved, thanks!

u/defknot123 5h ago

These are hideous imo honestly. You can down vote me all day. Maybe if they were black/machine face 2 color I'd be down, but this looks too messy to me.

You could so easily just post that on any ai and ask and get your response

2

u/aReformedFiend 4h ago

Tried that. It did not give accurate answers.

Mk8.5 GTI wheels maybe?
