1) the rim goes into the body of the car, would take a lot of cutting and ruining of the frame of the car to make it happen the way it appears.

2) look through the back rim, you should see the underbody of the car, but you dont, you see the road on the other side.....weird....

The easiest way to spot it is the rear tire on the 40" wheel Look in the spokes for the white line on the pavement. With the 26" rim it lines up with the lip on the outside of the rim, but the 40" does not line up.

hehe photoshop is fun hahaha

Thumbs down

The two cars on the background are in the same place. That's how you know it's a photoshop.

Not only that, the reflection in the rims are exactly the same. Never seen 40" rims, although I did see a picture of 30" rims on display at a SEMA show somewhere. Had a tire on it that looked like a painted layer of rubber...
