the one is not the best it was taken with my old camera, the second was taken with the new camera, but still not the best either.

Well, my crappy program won't mind pictures that aren't the clearest. I'm sure that someone else could do a much better job!
Edit: Ok, that's not the best. Maybe it'll help visualize...?

BB- Thanks man, thats way better than i came up with, it does look good, gives me a starting point. i wonder if i ran low pros that would take care of the monster truck tire look? wonder how bad that'll mess up my speedo. rolls eyes.

You're welcome.
There isn't as much distinction in the last two, between the all-white lip and the white lip w/thin black line as I'd like, but it does help to visualize all of this. I think that the idea has potential.
However, I'd recommend that if you're going to do this, make sure the wheels are painted the same white as the car! Otherwise, I think it'll look a bit odd...

The lowest profile i would do with the 15x7 phone dials is 225/50/15. The difference with this and a 215/60/15 is that the sidewall is shorter, removing the mud bogger look. But you need to remember that the redeuced tire size is going to mean increased wheel gap.

from what i can tell, my paint is in pretty good shape for being 20 years old. Ill have to clay bar it. I was talking with JgPorsche, and he had said he could have them powdercoated. can u powdercoat "alpine white"?
