Is it possible that it is one of those mud racers?

Talk ablout a ricer - I think it could actually run comfortably in an Arkansas rice field.....

I want to know what the hell those things really are? Are they REALLY wheels or something converted to be a wheel, like an industrial cooling fan blade? I see 2" tires......
At what speed do you think that thing would roll in a 90 degree right hander? 12 mph?

There you have it! A vehicle so compromised that it can't do anything but make the owner look like a tool.
But if you plot ride height and wheels sizes over the years you can extrapolate this vehicle as the future

i think they're fan blades and housings off the boats they use in louisiana/florida that go on land/water/swamp etc.

I'm scared of the cost involved in that thing, 22-24 in. tires already run 1-2 grand a piece, so do 40 in. tires cost like 4-5k (or more?) apiece? If that thing is in San Antonio, it will probably be at some of the shows I'm attending this year, if I see it I'll definitely have to get pictures lol
