Saw one of these in a parking lot today and almost did a double take. They have some obvious differences when you look closely, but man, Hyundai Tucsons that look like they have the same wheels as me just made me a little sad.

Funny! I spotted a Hyundai with those wheels at the end of summer and almost drove off the road! LOL I went home and had to google the car to get a better look.

Yep, it has been discussed in the past. Vw is trending, it doesn’t surprise me that other brands are copying them...

They actually look good spinning and are 19".

They sure look easier to clean because of thinner spokes
They are actually harder.
If you can enlarge the picture you will see there are darker painted spokes between the polished ones. You can not fit a hand through them. So although they look similar, they are not copies.

Read in a car magazine that a chief Audi designer went over to Kia it sucks and its flattering I guess. That why I went with Nogaro wheels, not Austin’s.
