They do tons of ---- like that, thats why domesically concerned chevy is #1, it kinda seems that most of their cars werent built by an idiot. Then theres ford that puts exhaust bolts right behind a bend, and just close enough that you cant get a impact socket on it so you have to try to loosen the ****** with a wrench (cutting torch in reality). Then theres dodge, they once upon a time decided that a transmission mount needed to be broken down into 3 parts, first 4 5/8th's bolts go into the tranny case. Then theres another section that bolts on with 15mm bolts. Then they take it down to 4 tiny studs into the crossmember that have 1/2 nuts on them, started out strong and then used something that my weak *** 3/8ths impact will snap off. I could go on but ill just sum it up with the fact that it will have to have a dammmmmm good reason to even consider buying a ford/dodge.

its the strength of the wheel over 6 bots vs 4 or 5. also lets a superbly strong wheel be used for abusive handling (ie lemans)

They make fucked up bolt patterns so they can patent them and try to cash in on the aftermarket wheel companies.
