The 599 is Front engined rear wheel drive, so is the Vette, so the shape is somewhat similar, there's nothing else to me that looks alike. The 599 is the best looking Ferrari there is in my eyes. The GTO is just even better than the regular one, and its what the 599 should have been from the start.

They are similar not the same. I am sure they didn't copy the LFA, Ferrari usually sets trends and split spokes are a very popular OEM wheel right now. They are light and study and show beautiful large brakes behind the wheel.

I like both wheels.

What is very different is the tire ratio. The GTO has a very big 305/35/20 inch rear tire. THe front was a 30 series. Usually the rear is a lower profile than the front.

A 35/20 is a big tire!
