As far as safety I dont see a problem. Also keep in mind the customer chose the wheels/tires and had them gold plated. Keep in mind this car does alot of shows as well.

I hear ya. IMO, looks like the wheels are far too large for the tire, inviting the bead to unseal along with the rim hitting things before the tire does. Tire/wheel failures can cause very bad things to happen at speed. This guy likes looks over safety and function, I get it.
