you must be blind. The rims ahve been widened by welding more rim on so it will take a 180 tire. Notice the large weld all the way around in the pics.

are you sure those wheels are safe? i would think if they aren't welding almost perfectly, the wheel will be unbalanced badly and hit a big bump and the wheel could crack along the weld. I am an engieering student and we just got done covering welds and metal and the welds fail very quickly without warning when they do. I would take those to get checked out before you put them on your bike, your life really does depend on those things.

^^^ agreed, seriously! Especially if you couldn't see the inside of the wheels with the tyres on them!
