Curious about the 35th anniversary Jetta GLI wheels

So I am really thinking about better wheels for my GTI and I saw the 35th anniversary Jetta GLI and I kinda liked them.
The question is what are they called, and does anyone know anything about them at all?

Would love to see a pic of a GTI with them on too.

Just get the wheel, the GLI has a taller tire profile than the GTI. It's a 45 on the GLI and a 40 on the GTI. Strange since they're both on the MQB platform.

Just this Sunday I went to a 235/40/18 on my 35th rather than 225/45/18. Oddly enough, my speedometer is more accurate when compared to GPS. Before, it read 2-3mph lower and now it's dead on. Likely the smaller profile spins faster which made up for the difference.

These have been an optional wheel for the GTI and GTD, at least in Finland, since the facelift came out at the end of 2016. I have the these on my GTI and I once asked the dealership how much would one wheel cost since I wanted to replace two banged up ones. I thought they made mistake when they told the cost of one wheel: €867 (around $945) :LOL: Needless to stay I didn't buy them
