Where to find these wheels?

I want to find these wheels but I don't know who makes them.

Isn't that the W12 powered Golf? I'd imagine there's a possibility that those wheels were custom produced for the car. Might have to give VW in Germany a call.

The first wheel you posted on the VW look like VW wheels. I went on line and "built a GTI". They are under the 18" wheel options. The wheel in the pic look like they added black accents but aside from that, they look nearly identical.

They do look like the VW option, except with that aggresive body kit, those wheels have a helluva offset!

Damn, davidmash beat me to it. Those are the wheels off GLIs and are an option for most VWs.

It looks to me like the front tires would rub during turns.
