Default Photoshop Request - Wheel Shoppin'

Could someone please photo-chop this car in Red? Antonio951 said I could use his picture. Picking up a set of new wheels soon, having a hard time finding pics of red cars with black non-OEM wheels.

Thanks
Mike

PS correct me if you are no longer allowed to do Photoshop requests for whatever reason....

The best paint job you can give that will not make you not want to do it!

Find a picture of a red car, pictures of the BSA design wheel are easy to find.

I want some opinion, too. As not to hijack thread, I will say that if the picture with the euro red NA with the wheels shopped on is the correct scale, those wheels look wayyyy too big for the car. Gangster big. I still like black phonies/cups on red 944s. which brings me to...

I have exceeded my wheel budget already on race wheels (I have 4 16x7, 2 of which are a bit unround for street use, 2 16x8) and the wheels that came with the car, 15" phonies. As much as I would really love cup1s (my favorite) 968 wheels, or club sports (also nice), I can't spend that kinda dime on something I don't need. I did realize, however, that I have access to the tools I would need to polish them to mirror finish. So who thinks that spending the time to polish 15" phonies would be ridiculous, who thinks polished wheels would look dumb on a white car (I saw polished sewer lids on kandyinmyvan's white car and they looked good), and who thinks this would increase my badass points? I might also polish the door handles, too, but that might be overkill.

It must just be the picture/photoshop, because they look great on Antonio951's car...


If anyone could put those wheels on that red car that was lower down in the post, or any red car for that matter that would be awesome...


thanks for those who replied already

Thanks
Mike
