Again, not that similar. I think the chrome/polished (whatever) throws off the shape of the Ford wheel.

You might be surprised how big the factory setup is on a lot of econoboxes today.

Our Volt has 26.4" tall tires on 17x7 rims as base equipment. 20's will bolt right up without changing ground clearance. In fact, the C5 Corvette wheels just a touch wider, and might be interchangeable. I should do a test fit.

The diverging 5-spoke (or whatever that style is called) has been around for a little while. But, I'm sure the Z-28 will influence more companies to start making a wheel in this style as it is cool looking. Here's some Giovanna portofino's bought and installed well in advance of the Z-28 reveal. I'm sure there are a lot of other guys here rocking a similar wheel as well.

Yes, the C5 Z06 design is one of the most copied designs in history.
