Default Dont these wheels look familiar?

Just got a new M1 Coupe in and I just noticed the wheels on it:







LC818s:




Makes me want to get new wheels now

no, they dont look like the LC818's at all.

I'm sure BMW was going more along their own design with the m3 CSL wheels

They do resemble the LC818, but I counted 7 spokes on the BMW versus the 8on the LC818's.

PS sick color

Yes they did. Anyways I think you would have to go a ways back to find any truly "new" designs.
