Are RS7 alloys the exact same wheel as RS7 soft spoke alloys?

For example if you have 3 lovely diamond cut Ford RS7 alloys on your car and shove on a diamond cut Soft Spoke one, will it be precisely the same wheel?

Yes this is "for real".. I just want to check I'm not insane.

The difference is that on the soft spoke, the spokes have a softer curved finish.

Absolute rocket science I know, takes years to understand

There were literally dozens of rs 7 spokes through it's lifetime and even though the ones you are asking about tend to look the same sort of style, the name sort of gives it away, the soft spokes have soft spokes and the diamond cut ones have sharper lines

lol none because even I can see the wheels are different! Just got someone insisting they are the exact same wheel and if someone gets a soft spoke diamond cut its the exact same thing as having a "normal" RS7
