Photoshop wanted for wheels

My seven is in some hardcore body work and we got these wheels that came into work. I'm looking to paint my car a dark red and put these wheels on it. Thanks in advance. As you can see I have the wheels on a car and the color I want my fc just to make it a little easier

Images are far too small for editing, can you reupload?

Go to Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels
Hit shopping tools.
fill out your make,year.model.
Find wheels that are similar and hit "view on vehicle".
You should be able to Change color of vehicle,but if not at least you get an idea of what the wheels look like on the car.
..no Photoshop necessary.

I can tell by the application in the picture(honda sized wheels, fwd offsets) that they most likely won't look good. Pulling off wheels isn't as simple as buying a a wheel with a nice looking face. Very rarely will anyone be looking at the car at a complete 90* angle which means 95% of the time it will look like ****(from any other angle, behind, 3/4 view etc). Diameter, Width, and offset have much more to do with a proper looking wheel set-up than a "nice" looking wheel.

Even work wheels can look horrible. Imagine some work equips in 17x7.5 +45? ******* disgusting.


EDIT: just looked them up. 17x7 +40, the stock wheels are 16x7 +40, they are going to look terrible. please don't do it unless you have some 45mm spacers laying around :X hold out for something at least 8-9 wide and offset around 15-30. You'll be much more pleased, trust me.

I'm not trying to "bash" or anything, I'm just trying to share my knowledge just like those guys do in the tech section. my expertise just happens to be in wheels, fitment, suspension etc. I'll post a few pics of aggressive wheels, and of non aggressive wheels. you'll no doubt see what i mean when i say "please don't do it"

aggressive:

also, none of these wheels fit as bad as the ones you want. expect the s55's to fit worse than these examples
