I'm not saying it's AI. but this image specifically was not generated solely with a camera, or rendered from the CAD. Probably someone wanted to put together a quick set of images of the wheels at the same angle, and just had images from different angles to work with. Compare the size of the top of the tire with the size of the bottom. The top of the tire on my screen is about an inch and an eighth from rim to tread. The bottom: an inch and almost three quarters. An inch and a half from the center circle to top rim, just over an inch and 3/4 for the bottom.

So apparently as the equal and opposite of people with nothing to actually contribute to a subject resorting to posting AI summaries about it, now we've got people with no actual knowledge of a subject resorting to posting 'AI' accusations about it... :facepalm:

The hub isn't centered correctly in the wheel in at least one of them. May not be AI, but it's probably lazy photo editing.
:idea: Ohhhhhhh... So when you said 'hub' you meant wheel, and when you said 'wheel' you meant tire. That makes so much more sense! Thanks for the additional clarification.

I was so focused on trying to see what was wrong with the hub in the wheel that I wasn't even seeing the wheel in the tire. :facepalm:

Yes the tire has obviously been enlarged on only the lower half for some bizarre reason. Which is especially bizarre, considering the rest of the image looks geometrically correct to my eye.

It's like a mullet tire... Business on the top, party on the bottom.

Well, it's both, the whole bottom half is enlarged/distorted, the first I noticed was the "hub" the circular part with the lug nut shapes was off center in the wheel, but the shape of the rubber tire is even worse.

Yeah, you're right. A full size screen definitely makes it easier to spot. Sometimes it's better to be working with equipment bigger than 6 inches.
