Default Anyone able to PS some wheels onto my car?

Ok, I figure there have to be some photoshop experts here.

I have been lookign for new wheels for my car for a long time. I absolutely deteste most of the wheels out on the market today. Finally, I think I found one that is elegant an dyet sporty enough for the 550.

Fikse Profil 5. Can anyone photoshop these wheels onto my car? I would like to see both the "race black" (anthracite) finish as well as the standard kind of polish (not their chromed out stuff...too much bling).

Attached is a side-shot of the car. Tell me if you need a better one...

--Dan

Err, stlhosting is down. Where is aother place to put them up?

That's why we have the competitions section to drag them out into the light and anyway to change wheels is pretty easy, but first we will need of course the picture since I don't see it you can use imageshack.us or any other host posted in the sticky topic in "car gallery", and also a picture of the new wheels, prossibly installed on a car, not on neutral background because of course it's better if behing theme there are the disks, shadows and so on...

That's the image of the car I was thinking of. Uh...hmm, I may have an image of another 550 with the wheels in chrome? Let me look. Actually, yes, I have a friend with the same car lowered with these wheels in chrome.



Hmm...

So basically you don't need help anymore LOL they look pretty nice. But I don't really like chrome since wheels are already a pain in the ass to be kept in good condition w/o adding the chrome thing to the equation

Anthracite do look very good , but why not going with the Enzo wheels ? TT posted ( or ST-Anger ) a pic of a CS with the ENzo wheels , they look gorgeous , maybe you can order anthracite ones , i bet they would look very good

The reason I don't like the BBS LMs is because they are too thin and "spokey." On the 550, this looks bizarre.

I saw a 360 with Enzo look-alikes, but I wasn't totally sold. The 550 doesn't give one an idea of "lithe" handling...whichis why I think thinner spokes don't do so well with it.

LotusGT1: thanks for the picture. Very interesting. I may do it...

I too don't think the BBSs would work well with the 550.

How about gun-metal with a polished lip?

Never been a fan of the polished lip. Next I'll have to lower it a bit, get a dark tint, black out my headlights, and get the plate "DRK HORS"
