WTF is this?? Worst representation I've seen

I was looking at the BMW board and I found this...they are making fun of us Firebird owners for putting BMW wheels on a Firebird....can you blame them?
Somebody want to set them straight?

Anybody who puts a hideous wing, and wheels with the incorrect bolt pattern on their car deserves to get made fun of.

at least it's just a 3.4V6 firebird (maybe a 3.8 but most likely it's a 3.4)

carbonfiberbird needs to post some pics of his car there. It looked pretty bad ***. When his car got totaled, everybody wanted the BMW rims... lol

I was originally looking for BMW rims for my car, since most F-body rims look nasty or cost over $800 each. Then I found a set of Firehawks for $400 and now I'm stuck with 'em for life... LOL

Those cars look awful and deserve any criticism they get. As far as posting there...why? It's not worth my time (and shouldn't be yours either) to give a damn what they think.

BMW bolt patterns the same, i have BMW wheels and have had them for over a year. Find a serious topic of discussion to worry about. Hey guess what? I had OEM ZO6 wheels fall off my car. Anyway, those firebirds there are bad representation! BMW tuner wheels are some of the best in the industry, i usually turn to them for my cars. Nothing wrong with it, just doen right. personally i think those wheels would look putrid on any BMW as well.
