No, then you grew old. :p
Nice rims on a rough car can be a poor sense of priorities, however there is another possibility. The guy (usually a guy) may be planning on fixing the car up, either restoring or customizing it. The normal route is to do all the mechanicals and safety items first, then the body and paint, lastly the interior and trim. Usually these projects are done on a budget and it seems like it will never be done. To the guy that's gotten bloody knuckles most every weekend for months(years) and doesn't see any progress even though he knows how much he's accomplished, a new set of wheels can be a boost.
Oh,... and maybe he stole the wheels.
