Always a big fan of the CH but unsure if it works on the Mk7, and thinking the silver finish may work better on the darker color. At least on the black CH the stainless lip protector provides some definition to the wheel.

The Turbine design is fitted to a number of different hybrid models in the Audi range in varying sizes, these appear to be off the Q5. 20 inch versions also available although OEMs would be very rare, no doubt reps will be available however.

BC Forged wheels are made from forged T6061 aluminium and are made to order to your specifications, so it appears a Golf friendly width and offset can be arranged. Not a cheap option with these wheels around $US4000 but there are some cheaper alternatives. Some great designs and finishes, if you're bored have a drool at BC Forged Wheels USA - PYSpeed Automotive Multi-Piece Custom Wheels Built for Every Car Application

OK, I am by no means advocating crimes against good taste by chucking orange wheels on to a white car, so I've toned it down in picture two. These wheels are fitted to some Passat CCs locally, but also appear on European Scirrocos as well. OEMs crop up now and then but reps will be easier and come from numerous sources, and numerous finishes. Even found a set on EBay UK fitted with Falken tyres for $1,250 (excluding shipping and any import costs).
LAMBORGHINI CALLISTO

Nothing like a set of exotic wheels on a Golf. Using genuine wheels won't be cheap, although surprisingly seems to be quite a few odd lots floating around on eBay so tracking down four genuine fronts may be possible, although would require some major work to fit. Also available as reps in more favourable fitments.
Note: not a legal fitment in Australia
KRAFTBERG 'VOSSEN VVSCV3' REPS

Gold on red hmm. Don't know anything about these actual wheels, but the original Vossens look beautiful and come in silver, matte graphite and machined matte black. The 19 x 8.5s do come in ET45 so could be made to fit with a little work and minus that rear end poke! I did a quick calculation and the Vossens would land here with duties/taxes for around $3,300.

These Rotiforms are a custom brushed finish with matte tinted clear centers and brushed low gloss clear lip. The standard machined finish can be imported here with duties/taxes for around $2,200; a custom finish can be quoted and ordered from Rotiform in the USA. The 19 x 9 ET40 will need some work to fit however.

Hopefully some better pictures show up of this or other cars running the OZ ST LMs. I'll admit my bias having fitted them to my Mk6 - I've guessed the specs on this car as these definitely look to be 19s - this won't be a legal fitment. However the 18 x 8 ET48s I had on my Mk6 are fine (although lowered I got front end rub.. fender screw mod probably would have fixed this), you can even go with an OEM sized fitment of 18 x 7.5 ET50 if you like and save a couple of dollars.
Speaking of which if you're after OZ and weighing up the local v overseas options I've found the local option weighing up pretty well still (as it did last year when I bought for my Mk6). PM for further info if desired.

While the above might not be quite legal, as per the ST LMs there are friendly 18 x 7.5 ET50 and 18 x 8 ET48 fitments available. These wheels, finished here in grigio corsa with centre cap, also come with exposed bolts, and a matt black finish with or without centre cap.
VW NOGARO

Attachment 9180
The Nogaros are the standard 18 inch option on the European GTD - the 19s option are Santiagos a la GTI. Can't find an offset but would assume somewhere in the 49-51 range in keeping with standard OEM fitment. Not a bad looking wheel but might be tough to track down - not to be confused with TSW Nogaros or Rial Nogaros which are both completely different styles of wheel.
AUDI RS4
Specs: unknown reps
Attachment 9182

Attachment 9184
This is a TSI Comfortline running RS4 reps in 18 inch. The design doesn't look too bad on the Mk7 although the arch gap here looks wrong. The original thread on this car suggested it may have still been sitting high due to the transport blocks. Plenty of original and reps options in all kinds of specs on this wheel.
ATS DTC

Not easy tracking down information on these ones, they have been fitted for use on the VW Castrol Cup cars and won't be a legal fitment on Australian road cars. FYI the series takes in Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary in tuned Golfs running GTI badging but an R style front bar (the pictured car is a road car, not the race car). For €39k drivers get a maintained vehicle for the seven round 14 race series although it appears they can offset some of that cost be on selling advertising spots on the car.
Attachment 9213
What is easier to track down is the ATS Racelight wheel which I think looks great, the straight lines should work well with the Mk7 styling. Available in a few finishes, but likely in a very unfriendly and not legal fitment of 18 x 8.5 ET30. Hopefully this comes up in something more useful to the Golfs in the future.

It's also on the VWR springs. We removed the top fender screw and there is no rubbing anywhere, even 4 up.
