I'm about 95% sure that those pics on the M3 and the Corvette are photoshopped using the same conceptual rim pic shown on the top right corner of the M3 pic.

Im sure they'll be spaced correctly when produced. More like this:

They definitely are chopped and of course they would not produce them like that but the pic is whack.

If you like at this picture you'll see there are 5 perfectly symetrical spokes...look


look closely at the rim thats point towards you...

that other metal is just the mount of the wheel...

It's definatly a chop. I took the full res pic posted and put it into photo chop and enhanced and increased the brightness and contrast and look what it revealed.

The true rims that are on the cars. The rear wheels were exact mirror images of each other and perfectly symetrical. It would have been near impossible to park those cars like that.
