Identify These Rims?

I just love this photo, especially since I have an AB/S MCS myself. Thanks Saakey for the photo; hope you don't mind!

Can anyone identify the rims on this baby?

Those look to be the latest in Adobe rims...

... brought to you through the Magic of Photoshop (or some other photo manupulation tool).

Look at the diameter of the rear rim and the apparent wheel to fender clearance front-to-back. Also notice the highlight near the top of the rear fender flare and at the 2:30 position on the front fender. Sun must be might close for that kind of highlight variance.

Someone really tried, but the rather low stance of the minis rear end, the incorrect shadow line on the sand, the fact there is a persons reflection in the minis door, and the mirror shadow & chrome reflections don't play with the ambiant light all point to a neatly done photoshopping. Almost fooled me for a few seconds.

well, when you look at my original picture used, you could see how it would never have worked-with all that you pointed out... but even the angle of the car is wrong...no one picked up on that.

Ah, one more thing, the tint job on your photoshop left out the normal "ring of untinted space" that happens to all tinted mini windows. It's because of the tiny circle paturn around the black portion of the rear windows. Tinters dont do over them because of air bubbles.

my tinter did ...there are tiny bubbles but they don't bother me or stand out much...but i can't see how they would only bring it up to that point..as there might "untited" gaps that i'd be worried about...and not to mention a nice perfect edge where my 4 year old could start picking his little fingers at ..and that would not be good
