Those wheel look safe... ?

This setup can't possibly be OK. Those are modern, tubeless 20" car/light truck tires, stuffed onto 20" tube type wheels. This is exactly why the .5" sizes were made for tubeless tires and wheels. Without the massive, steel reinforced tube type bead on the tire to put pressure on the lock ring, I can't imagine these will stay together long. The one piece lock rings are probably the only reason it worked at all. If the lock rings had splits, I would bet they would have blew right off!

It's mind boggling.
The top is chopped, requiring far more skill than I possess. But the mirror holes in the drivers door and the rotted cab corner were just painted over. Those are new tires with the stickers still on them. Chrome taillights and mounts with a 50 cent flatbed.
I just don't get it. Why bother?

To each his own, I guess.

In the second wreck shown, I like the unprotected air filter. Right where any road debris can puncture it. Engines don't like to run very long when they've been sanded. Wow, turbo and roots type charging.
