Default Photoshoppers - black centers?

I'm thinking about painting my 993 wheel centers black to match the car. Can anyone 'shop these photos with a polished lip and again with just black spokes? TIA.

I would even leave a little silver lip on the outer edges of the centers.

how about keeping the center cap silver and maybe just the very edge of the spokes silver ???

I think that would look cool.

The black looks pretty good - especially after I lower the car. Anybody else? I was actually thinking of gloss black instead of flat.

BTW, I like the teepee in the front yard. Nice decorating touch.

I think my son must have pissed someone off I took care of it right after I shot that pic.

The front wheels have a larger area left as silver compared to the rear wheels..

Hey Michelle,

I have a set of factory 993 wheels that the PO painted grey, and I was planning on stripping and returning to factory silver. If your are factory rims, want to do a swap instead? I can paint them up for you no problem, if you'd like. We could even do the swap at Renntreffen, if you want. Let me know if you are interested.

And all you photoshoppers, could I get you to do my wheel centers antracite and maybe put a nose vent that matches the lower openings? I am pondering doing that to my car and would love to see how it looks.






Regards,
