I zoomed in and cut that portion of the rear left wheel...i am no expert but I personally think it's just the shadow of the black. If you look REAL close tread pattern and everything else matches it's just the color that looks "cartoonish". Of course he did say quick shoot and it is in the shade it looks like.

If you really want to know if the pictures are Photoshopped, open it in Photoshop and examine the photo.
Not true. If the specs are off, it won't sit that way, and this is false advertisement.

People do shady things to get a sale, like chop wheels out a bit farther or spruce them up a bit to make them look better.

If they aren't p-shopped, then those are really good fitment. Tires just look way too off and look shopped.

Took pictures in bright sunlight and wheels were hard to capture so we messed with the contrast in @
PS

The wheels themselves are on the car and weren't chopped on lol

Ill respond more in detail later as I'm on my phone right now

No problem with the design of the wheels but I just don't like all-blacked out wheels. They look like empty spaces in the sides of the car. A contrasting color would bring them out. A white or red stripe on the rim of the lip would help.
Everytime I see all-blacked out wheels rolling down the street I wouder why the heck would anyone want to spend hard earned cash to make their wheels disappear....cause all you see is empty blackness.

Doesn't appear to be photoshopped.

BTW, the wheels look HUGE. I am very interested in the silver finish, but the wheels look too big for the car now.. dilemma.
