True.. but the spoke profile and how it melds into the hoop are quite different.. both at split 5-spokes and the finishes are the same'ish

In person they are stunning.. I hope to have weights soon.. these have the hidden Ti fasteners.

It didn't happen just once either... we threw the old ones on first, but decided the new ones looked better.



I will say though, the finish on the new wheels really needs to be seen in person. It picks up some blueish light reflections from the natural machining, and just has a really brilliant hue when walking around the car.
