I think this is a joke picture, those tires aren't even attempting to fit on the wheels.

I call BS, the bead of the tires would not seat in the drop zone of the rim, this is a photo chop or it is what it is, but you could not drive that thing.

Funny, but they did this by placing those parts next to the picture specially for this photo.

Would have been funnier if they put it in various "driving" spots like going down the street, cruising with same fake wheel setup. Tons more work, though.

one of the guys at work showed me this today. Apparently this person's previous car was not dumb enough. It had a bead of silicone around the tires to hold air. This dude supposedly commutes in the car like this.
