We gather here today for the greatest automotive awkward-phase parade the internet has ever seen. These pics capture cars wearing wheels they absolutely haven’t grown into yet: tiny training-wheels that make them look like confused toddlers… or monster-sized rims that turn every parking lot into a circus audition.
Think back to the ’60s and ’70s, when our own bikes had mismatched parts, wobbly tires, and a “don’t worry, it’ll fit” philosophy. Same vibe; just louder, shinier, and somehow dumber in the funniest way possible.
These photos say: “Style is temporary. Confidence is forever.” And these cars? Oh, they have loads of confidence. Click in. The wheels are already spinning.
