1. Do your oil changes while standing up.
2. No more bending front spoilers on parking curbs.
3. Easier to retrieve dropped change etc. from under the seat.
4. Don't have to wash the roof of the car any more, too high for anyone to see.
5. ...
c'mon, add to the list, see if we can't get something worthy of a Letterman Top Ten!

6: Got tired of running over small animals?
7: With no back seat he take passengers IN the wheels. Chances are it doesn't go fast enough for that to be dnagerous anyway.....
8: Couldn't get a loan for a nice car. Could get lay-away at the rim shop.
9: Chrome is now an endagered species, he's hoping his 400lbs of it will net a huge profit in 6mnths.
10: He likes to pump the fuel while standing on the pump.

I hope this FC gets a nice paintjob, gets cleaned up and makes an appearance at Sevenstock. It would be a nice change over all the "boro" FCs and all the JDM tyte cars. I'm pretty sure the Japanese magazines would be more than happy to get this car in their magazine instead of shooting pictures of "JDM" ones that look exactly like all the other FCs back home

To each his own but a fc isn't really a lux car and usually those rims go on lux cars right?
Do the rims weigh more than the car? How often do you have to get new inner and outer tie rod ends and balljoints? The larger and heavier rotating mass must destroy the suspension components.
I've seen 22s wear out suspension components on a qx56 with 22k on it. Goodluck getting even tire wear, I spent 4 hrs trying to align a dropped durango with 24s on it. And it still wasn't even close but it was cool because the owner didn't care.

47-point turn 
But seriously, I bet that thing is really unsafe, I can't imagine much steering angle before those 2-foot abortions start to rub.
I could just see it now:
"Let me do this 90º turn right quick"
*RRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUBBBBBBBBBBBBBB*
*SLAM HEAD-ON INTO ONCOMING CAR*
"Blargrhrgrhgrhgrhgh I'm dead!"
Luckily the top speed is probably like 35 mph.
