What makes you say that?

I'm not an expert either, but it looks like there's a lot of the rim is protruding outside at the area where it meets the rubber. As if you could fit much wider tires to the rims. Typically the rubber is protruding out a tiny bit further than the rim, or they're at least even. Or in other words, if you accidentally scratch a curb during parallel parking, in your case, the rim will be the first to hit the curb -- not the rubber.

Or maybe that's just how the rims are by design.
