Sure, I've seen them on all sort of cars. Are you asking if this particular part will fit on an Alfa?

Pegasus has lots of hard core racing supplies. The donuts they list are very likely for Formula Fords (single seat race cars using Ford Pinto-based engines). The donuts might be from a mass production road car; it would be interesting to compare dimensions.

Lots of cars use donuts. The 5 speed (not 4 speed w/overdrive) Volvo 240s use a donut that is very similar to the Alfa donut (well one of them).

Lotus used to use them on some cars between the axles and the rear diff.

Those are for drive axles. The bolt pattern is too small. Sort of a CV joint out of rubber.
