Photoshop Request - Wheels
I'm looking to possibly buy these rims, but can't picture how they would look in different finishes.

Can someone photoshop it with:

- Silver face/polished lip
- Matte gunmetal gray face/polished lip

I wonder if I'm asking for too much
TIA!



Edit: found a pic of the wheel - hopefully, this makes it easier

Not exactly your car, maybe not those wheels either, but you can do stuff like that on tirerack.com.

Don't forget that those wheels just scream BIG BRAKE KIT. It was one of the things I was worried about with the Sevas Forged R55's I ordered. If you're gonna get the BBK's, then go for it. If not, just make sure you're ok with our small rotors showing through.

Sick wheels though.

Clayton - One reason I'm getting new rims is cuz I want a BBK. My current mesh wheels don't reveal enough. The E55 AMG kit was ordered earlier today! 14.2"/13" rotors and 8-piston/4 piston calipers. Gonna get them painted, too!

deimos - Thanks for doing that for me. I think these wheels really look good in the matte black. The silver isn't as nice. I need to find a happy medium, as I don't think my wife will go for an all-black wheel.

What do you guys think of a black face with polished lip or charcoal gray face with polished lip?

Thanks again!

The silver's really starting to grow on me, as is the darker shade. All 3 colors are nice in their own way. The black is just nasty and agressive

decisions, decisions!...

Congrats man, when you say silver lip, do you mean polished or chrome? I don't think I've seen a real silver painted lip. I love brushed faces...

Make sure you get your BBK painted Red or Yellow.
