Just taking a nice ride home and what do I see in the rearview.
I tried to race him, but he didn't want any. Just kidding I was in the Yukon.

Those rims can't be real, maybe a camera phone that couldn't keep up?

These are the wheels, I don't think the camera phone could keep up.

Those rims are real otherwise other parts of the rim would be distorted too, not to mention the wheels details are fairly sharp.

You are correct. Look at the lines in the concrete, you can see they are 'bent' or pulled back just like the wheels are.

That wheel isnt feasible, to me at least.

Also, if you notice, the 'mag' at 2 o'clock is different in each wheel, that is if my previous post doesn't clear somethings up.

I thought the rear wheel was just different cause they are 2 different sizes, they run bigger wheels in back than the front, but i think you might be right, it's just wierd the way the camera distorted them
