Figured it out! I have a Konica Minolta Dimage Z1 digital cam. Alot of jewlers use it in advertising because it zooms in on whatever piece their displaying. I bought it cause it looked kool and was told be top of the line by the camera man. I had this feature on when taking my pic unknowingly in comparison they look bigger to me also. Sorry if i seemed to be misleading.

ok man the camera made your wheels look like 20's.Give us a break.Its obvious that in the first picture you,or someone else enlarged the wheels to look like 20's when in reality they arent.You can tell they are PHOTOSHOPPED because they are more blurry than their surroundings and the rear tire is a little strange looking.That and the fact that in every other picture you posted the wheels look like 17sand you have massive wheel gap compared to the first photo And why didnt you post any other side shots of the car? yeah.....no more excuses.You dont have 20's.Its ok.Just dont try and lie about your car.There is no camera in the world that is gonna make the size of your wheels bigger and leave everything else in the photo untouched.

In case you're about to contest what GSTrance is saying, go check out the Photoshop Forum here on CL. You will see much better/realistic examples, many done by GSTrance himself.

I will refrain from chastising you for lying...
