I love that commercial. How did they fit it on TV though? Or was it web only?

they had other bits of the car in them acting as weights to push them upslope and balance the tires

you position 2 weight inside the rim to balance it and make it stationary. when the thing hits the tire it rotates it slightly up the ramp, causing the weights to start acting in an upward motion to carry the tire up a foot.
