As far as damage to the car is concerned the parts in question just press against the insides of the tires, they probably never even touch the wheels themselves but either way at least it's on the inside so it's somewhat unimportant.

My real concern would be later on down the road when everything is dirty, neglected, and they start slacking on maintenance. I'm not sure what would happen if (when?) the machine breaks, but of course that would depend on what breaks and how severely of course.
But that thing is probably severely overbuilt and I would expect pretty durable. It would be a huge liability if it were to break, but for that same reason I expect you'll be seeing those garages out of order regularly.

Well that's the concern. Also if it does "grab" by the wheels (which it looks like it does from the video)...What about the low-profile tires with 20" rims? Damage risk? I think so
