I hate when people do things like that. Not sure why, it just bugs me.

I saw MM rims an a Honda Accord once....that was disturbing.

I can deal with same parent company like 'Stang wheels on a Merc, Caddy wheels on a GMC, etc.

Cadillac is 5x115 while we are 5x114.3.

The acorn nuts would never seat.

If the proper concentering rings were used (yeah right) the lugs would never seat properly.

If they were installed lug centrically, one would seat and the wheel would never be in balance.

All of this adds up to: UNSAFE TO DRIVE!

Totally...sometimes people just don't know better.

"Oooo...5 lug equals 5 lug....it'll fit"

The rims themselves don't look too bad on the car but worng bolt pattern and those huge rear tires on a wrong wheel drive car are weird.
