A lot of automakers contract the design and build of their wheels to other wheel manufacturers. Some wheels from Lexus (and others) are BBS wheels for example.

Of course, wheel manufacturers are just a vendor to automakers, but they make per print from the automakers, is not like BBS have 10 styles for the automakers to choose from, they can make whatever they want.

Just found another pair, 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 vs. 2007 Porsche 997.1 GT3 RS, almost identical in every details, amazing.
