I took this photo last December next to a new Carolla S.  Wondered if anyone noticed the similarity as well.

Nah, they just have 7 petal SHO wheels :yes:

I just think of it as the SHO's little cousin looking up to their role model :no1:

I think the 13 flower power wheels more closely resemble the BMW X5 M Sport wheels myself.  Although we do not get the beefy wide rears.  ;)

I thought of diamonds when I first seen the flower wheels.   The inside shape really resemble a cut diamond or gemstone. My friend called them clover wheels
