Question Too much? I think so!

Just found this picture. I didn't know they made 40" passenger car rims. OMG, these are huge! They don't work in my world, but the body work is well done.

If you look at the back of the tires on the passengers sides, they look to be about 3 inches wide!!!

What's the point in putting on wheels that cost more that the vehicle did? I could think of a 100 ways to better spend that money on a truck.

Looks doc'd to me. The chassis line through the rim doesnt match the truck.

Anyways, 19.5's would be killer on my Dodge!

Yeah it's gotta be photoshopped......the biggest I'm aware of is a 26" rim. Either way it looks like a big bowl of dog poop

Looks like a toy. I don't get it. Don't you lose a lot of utility when you go that "lo-pro"? I would think that hitting a pothole would damage the rim...I like having some rubber there for shock protection...

Those wheels look like they have holes in them from spokes, maybe some motorcycle wheels that have been fabbed up by some clown You are right the tires are only a few inches wide....

Man I got to get a set of those Bling Bling

My geuss is that if it is real then it is probobly an advertising one off for the tire manufacturer and never sees any form of movement other than on and off the trailer.
