YES, visually..

and the buck stops there.

i think that toyota could sue subaru for copying their front ends since 1996 (compare corolla to impreza) if we all lived by the "visual property is the same as intellectual property" rule..

haha see, this proves the point of taking a design and making subtle changes.

for example.

Advan RG2, and GramLight 57Maximum both basic 6 spokes with a bit of concave built into the shape.

but the RG2 has slightly skinnier spokes and doesn't have the (pain in the ass while cleaning) nipples on the hoop like the 57Maximum does.

:)
