ok i took this pic for the FAQ section, i plan to paint my car and make it look exacty like the pic i have everything for my car just need paint.. so ive put some thought into the rims.. so i imed ddub and had him do some photoshoping for me(THANX) so vote on the rims u like or post a color u think may look good

STOCK


WHITE


GUNMETAL

 

I voted for white. They can look like crap when you're standing still (not looking so hot in the picture above) but when you're moving they look nice.

 

i voted for other:

gunmetal with a satin aluminum outer lip= sexy!

 

gunmetal or black

 

just spray paint the wheels and if you don't like it spray paint them another color

 

white looks pimp while gunmetal looks dirty in my opinion

 

gotta go with a real gun metal crome. they look sweet, even if they get helal dirty no one can tell also!

Gunmetal all the way...still need to lower her.

 

^ nice wheels! i think i am going to go with 18s though, low profile 17s just have too much extra room.

 

bronze

 

gunmetal or black looks hot on white cars

i think some deep dish bad *** rims would look good on that car. not a fan of the white and black , to me that stuff looks dullllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, give that car what it deserves, cromeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, but thats just me , good luck in what ever you buy.

 

He asked me to do bronze too, this was the best I could do with the pic.

 

ddub u the man when it comes to photoshop

 

I do my best, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't

 

hey not to change the topic but how do you change the color of something in photochop???

 

Select whatever you want to change the color of and use saturation, brightness, contrast, color balance, etc settings until you get it the way you want. Hardest thing is working on a larger scale like full paint jobs of a car or something, rims are easy. I've been doing this stuff for a couple years now, used to take stock cars and play with them in PS changing paint job, rims, lowering, adding front mount, tint, whatever just for fun. The best looking jobs always start with a larger/higher resolution picture. Smaller or lower resolution pictures generally look less real in my opinion.

 

Good job dDub, you did make it come out for all to see.

I like the white, but that is kinda 80s socal. Seems the race movement has a lot of wheels being painted black or dark. I guess what is cool this year

I did a real nice 69 bug back in'87 or so. I had the dash, door jams, engine bay, trunk area and empi 8 spoke wheels all painted a really bright clean white and I made sure all the rubber was replaced fresh black and tinted the Windows really dark. That car got a lot of good complements. Even if you weren't a fan of VWs the car still got your attention. I am thinking of the same color scheme with my already white '89 vert.

 

get aftermarket...look at mine

 

Wow, talk about biting someone's idea . Why didn't you just bump my old post on the exact same topic!
