Need help identifying this wheel

Hi all,

I should be getting my PW/B MCS sometime in January. I've been shopping for wheels and want to get it before the car gets here.

Anyone knows what kind of wheel this is? I've been reading every pages on this thread but couldn't find the manufacturer of this wheel. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like it could be a Photoshop picture and those may not be "Real" wheels.

You may want to try the folks that make the H&R springs as they may have had some input on that illustration.

I first thought it's an ART Tuning wheels but this one has center cap.



I thought H&R normally use real pictures for their web/advertising, not chopped pictures.

99% sure it's the Audi Nuvolari wheel. H&R used them on their GTi project car too. OEM+ styling.





Here are some replicas that are available

I was considering these for my R53 a couple years ago. Apart from the atrocious weight, they weren't available in a 4-bolt pattern.
