Its seems kind of strange the front wheels and the back is not synched. Is this cause by the difference in tire size?
I actually had the car raised a bit that day...I ride lower daily.....my front bumper gives me about 2 fingers clearance? Anyways...thanks for the compliments and shouts out to GATO for makin this video happen!
wow, nice sheet. is this just an optical illusion cuz of the video recording device or do the wheels actually appear stopped like that to your eyes if you are riding next to it down the highway??

It's not an optical illusion. It's a "camera" illusion. The camcorder records as some give frames/sec (probably 24 or 30 frames per second), while your eye sees it continuously. The wheel rotation is a function of car speed. The number of spokes also enters into this camera illusion. When the wheels rotate so that the spokes appear in the same place for each camera frame, it then appears to be stationary. As the rotation speed starts to increase or decrease from that speed the wheel appears to either rotate faster (clockwise) or slower (counterclockwise). Tire diameter differences will give a different appearance at the same vehicle speed.
In old (1945-50) black and white western movies the stagecoach wheels would appear to rotate backwards. They solved that by painting some of the spokes black.
