Malibu Cruiser Concept secret

[Ming]

Check this photo of the 2001 Malibu Cruiser Concept from SEMA (I think). I just noticed something about it today. I could be wrong about it, but I don't think so. See if you can spot the element of interest:

Nope, think "parts sharing"

These wheels were used on all of the Pontiac GXP concept cars, as far as I can tell. I guess the Malibu Cruiser got them first. Who knows why these wheels made the leap from Chevy Show Car to Pontiac GXP Lineup. It might be a GM secret stored away in the depths of the Michigan design offices...
