the what the are:

Steering column, two hubs, one drum, battery tray, and one demountable rim with tire and tube, and a plain demountable rim on top.

I think what is being see is; the rim with the tire is on the bottom and rim without tire on top of it.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

Found on FB. It looked to me like two rims combined, but an empty rim on top of one with a tire makes sense.

Oh, I thought it was all that was left behind when someone left his car unlocked on the street in a 'shady' neighbourhood?
