The rims actaully go inwards and up when hitting a bump. At first I thought major curb rash and fender rash....lol
I got a pic I saw where the rubber doesn't reach the lip, so the lip is hanging out alone....LOL

Side walls of the tires are bent up, isn't that a safety hazard?? And do they over pressure the tires to fit like that??

Many people argue that stretched tires are a safety hazard, but the proponents of it argue that theres hardly any proof that it will actually do anything.

Me, I can just take one look at the tires and with the understanding that tires aren't designed to flex like that, and know that its not particularly safe.

Try this video - I cant access youtube at work, but this was found on a quick google:
