I think the latter R32 ones started around 08 onwards. Are the first ones off a late GT TDI? If so you should be able to find a few pics.

They look like bigger versions of the wheels from a GT Sport:

The first alloy you posted is the 18 inch 'Charlestone'. It came as an optional for the facelift GT models. The second alloy is the 18 inch 'Zolder' alloy from R32's earlier R32's. The last alloy changed for the 2008 MY (mid 2007), it's called the Omanyt (18 inch).

I love the wheels on that blue Golf from the .:R's altho i have to say, with the lowered look my GTi has i actually really like the Monza 2's and dont want to change them anymore.

I'd be tempted by something BBS, perhaps LM's but for now the Monza's are staying firmly put as they look spot on when parked and great when the sun hits them on the move too
