Default Need Photoshop help: RB Blue Cab w/MY02 wheels

I am considering powdercoating these MY02 wheels to match the top, so a gunmetal grey color.

Can someone help me see what that would look like in grey and maybe one in black?

Thanks!

(And yes, I'll work on the ride height in due time)

Spidey,

Lets work on that ride height. RB needs to be low. BTW like the wheels stock IMHO.

Agree but I personally would dye the top black.

Gotta say a black top is a better contrast, but the car has such low miles do you want to make that kind of change. My car had a navy blue top put on from the PO. It was built with a black top. I changed it to a black top.

I agree to all of the above.

I really thought black would look better in contrast, still do. However, I'm really curious if I leave the top
alone and gunmetal grey the wheels, will that "pull" it together and create its own look?

Yes, 29k miles, and I would like to keep it near stock with only reversible mods.

Mike, what do you mean, you like the stock wheels? Like stock as in Cup or Twists or do you mean the MY02 left alone
as seen in this pic?

Darker wheels. ( more to match the grey top than an actual gunmetal grey)
And lowered.

Thank you Max! Can you go darker, like almost black but not quite?

I would have said ride height, Cup IIs or Sport Classics (I or II) and you're done.

But those gunmetal MYO2s (with the grey top) look pretty darn good.

Thanks, will do. See, I like the darker look, matches the top a bit better. Not sure if its worth the effort though, unless it's big bang for the buck.

Yes, I have Cup IIs on order with a fellow RL.

Maybe lower the height to ROW, but thats as far as I want to go.

Max, you rock thanks again!

Arena993 Mike is right. I'm getting more back from the lowering effect than from changing the color of the wheels.

Not sure I particular like the dark wheels when darker than the grey top.

Can you change the top color to black to see how the black wheels look with it? Last one, I promise
