It's understandable that you don't know about the mismatched wheel thing. You drive a Camaro. On cars with less than 6 cylinders, it's a bonus 5 horsepower.

You can see the rubber he left in prior passes (probably while testing things out). I'd be willing to bet he broke a wheel in one of those prior runs.

My theory is that there's a different rubber compound on the gray wheel that aids him in controlling the car when powersliding and drifting.
