Default Did Ford copy the GT3 wheels?
Looks like the Ford designers has zero creativity. Just unveiled this week at the NAIAS was the 2011 Ford Mustang. Check out the wheels

Definitely looks like they copied the wheels but they'd be better off copying the brakes......

Hard to say what's going on here. Doesn't Ford take a decade to make something happen? Maybe the Porsche design guy responsible for plastering a fugly checker pattern on the new RS saw some early Ford wheel concept and figured that's the direction he should go in....

Not the first time, my neighbor has a 2008 Acura TSX and they look pretty similar to my 996 GT3
