Build sheet called them bright 5 hole, but that’s what I have now and that’s not it. Wondering if that qualifies as 5 hole on a 2020 or that’s something different?
No, I have 5 hole on mine now - there are 5 holes so it’s pretty easy. this is a dealer pic that they say IS the car, and the build sheet says bright 5 hole, But if the pic is the car I was wondering why they don’t seem to match...
Build sheet might show standard wheels and list additional wheel option later, maybe as part of Nero package. Or else just a mistake from dealer. I assume it is new and not used which could have had anything done to it.
i know for sure 2018 build sheets/window stickers have standard wheels list and optional wheel that's replacing standard part also lists, but on 2020 build/window sticker, they only list 1 wheel that's actually lists on the car.
to OP, my guess is the dealer swapped out wheels to another vehicle to make a deal happen and hoping next customer won't know. i've seen some dealer swap wheels to accommodate customer request to make a deal happen.
You certainly have something different. Those wheels don't look like the previous Alfa Romeo factory Tecnico Y-spokes.
If you look closely, there is extra material, on the left side of the Y-spoke, close to the bottom of the Y, before the hub/emblem, which isn't on the previous model year Tecnico Y-spokes. Unless the style of the Tecnico has changed and we are looking at a new model, a wheel swap happened at some point. I would be asking some questions.

As covered, those are gloss black 19 mirons, aka y spokes aka hot wheels. I have the bright machined version, I believe those are the only colors.
They're quick order speccd on Ti non sports usually. I suspect that an incorrect photo is attached to the car in question in their inventory system, or to the previous point - that's likely afoul of some commerce reg.
Unless you have more info than what has been presented in this thread, I don’t know how you can reasonably make such an assessment. There may not even be negligence on the dealer’s part, and the car may be correctly spec’d as indicated on the Monroney.
Bright 5-holes are the base spec for Ti and Ti Sport, and optional wheel choices are usually listed in the right hand column on the Monroney. In this case, you can see the B&W center caps, so the car likely has Nero pkg, in which case Brights are not possible to option.
My guess is the OP is reading the window sticker incorrectly, and I’d suggest they post it here for clarification.
We posted at the same time. That looks like a detail shot of a Monroney I was talking about. What is it, where is it from, and what do mean “they are”?
And then there are these 5Y wheels. I purchased them from my dealer about 6 months ago. They came off a new 2019 when the buyer purchased new aftermarket wheels and tires on day one and left these at the Dealership for later pick-up. I saw them and the Service Mgr helped me cut a deal. Left the new RFTs at the store (Service Mgr helped me sell them) and then mounted a set of Michelin PS A/S3+ non-rft. MUCH better ride and handling. Just mounted a set of Vredestein Wintrac Pro W rated snows on the original Lusso wheels. Does anyone know what these black wheels are called?
It's important to remember that the wheel size is part of the wheel style identification, which is to say that Y-spoke is not one wheel, but several, with a variety of sizes and finishes.
Yes on #1 (not #21)and Yes on price. Price can change if willing to wait 4-6 weeks. There are two different price scales with Alfa. Quick = $$$, slow= $$
Under the 22S package on the build sheet it lists what I expected - 19: x 8.0-inch Bright 5-hole Aluminum Wheels / 225/40R19 All-Season
At the very end of the build sheet it lists 19" x 8" Miron Y-Spoke Aluminum wheels. No cost associated. Nero Sport kit is listed but the Miron wheels are not in that section.
So the Miron replace the 5-Hole, which I think is not a good trade as I liked the 5-Hole look better. I guess technically they're an upgrade?
Ok, so the image in #1 is a 19" Miron y-Spoke. My wheel in #21 is (granted) 18", but the lower stem of the Y is does not have the subtle add-on thickness on one side, and the stem and the upper part of the Y is thicker. IMO, this is NOT just an 18" version of the same 19" wheel. There is too much difference. If ALFA does call this a Y-Spoke then they have little imagination with their wheel names. IMO, it would be a reasonable assumption that the only difference (should be) between an 18" and 19" Miron Y-Spoke is 1".
I am keeping the 17, she may have an undiagnosable terminal illness, but I still love her..
I am getting a 2020 though, trying to decide between Green and Red loaded right now now. Reds local, Green is across the country. Red has 5-hole, Green apparantly doesn't (now that I can read a build sheet). Decisions...
Yep the ARGiulia flu is impossible for me to shake, too. Best virus ever... trying to get the Mrs. to let me add a QV and keep my '17. Best of luck, and choose the VV... everyone has Rosso. ;-)
