I just wonder if these are real or photoshopped. What do you think?

I think if you had enough cash anything is possible... Very bling bling but it looks kinda funny.

Hey,
possible but highly unlikely. To make a wheel cast cost around $30,000, plus then expect to pay around $2000 per rim to make them (with your own cast) and we havent even talked tires yet. Plus you can kinda tell from the resolution of the rims compared to the rest of the image that it has been doctored...

I'm going to say doctered too, simply because on the far back tyre should be showing it's edge through the spokes of the near back trye, and it isn't.

if it is doctored they did a vey good job, for the following reasons
1) you can see the line markings on the road through the rear tyre 2) the front far tyre, as the same amount of rubber as all the others 3) the car seems level, you would have to raisd or lower it in the pic to fit the wheels on.
just my 3 cents

I think it's bullshit too.

but there are a LOT of 4wd with lift kits for ride height. for example I saw a hilux one day and the sidestep was ABOVE EYE LEVEL for me in the exa. it was fukkin crazy.

if i was doing that i would have yaken 2 pics one with the car there and the other of just the parking spot. then you could splice in the road bits from the same coordinates.

that is a real 4wd and its got 28" wheels, those wheels would infact be more like 40"

photoshopped, but it does have (almost) 30"ers

they look like c5 rims and the largest they are are 18 inches so highly unlikely..
