wheel Selection / Photoshop

Hello All,

I am thinking it is time to change my wheels up. I would really like to do some color (red, orange or white). I hoping that someone with more computer skills than me can photoshop some color onto my wheels. Also, I am considering changing my wheels completely to something without a deep dish. What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

The big question is, leave the polished lip or color the whole wheel?

I have the same exact combo of car color and wheel. I am planning to paint the face Seal Gray and leave the lip polished. I am stuck on what to do with the wheel caps though.

I really want to do orange, but I am not sure how that would look with the polished lip. Seal grey will look sweet too!

Why not paint them black? Oh yea, I forgot everyone has already done that.

Seriously, your car and wheels look great. Not only that, they look great today, they will look great next year and they will still look great 5 years from now. Follow the current trends and I bet you will regret it in a couple of years.

Later, Steve

That's why I want to do a more subtle color shade (eg, Seal Gray). It's a good combo and I had something similar on my previous black e39 M5.

Please do not paint the faces any color. Leave em as is or go with a gunmetal color. Bright color faces and polished lips don't look right, they end up looking cheap. If you really want a loud color get yourself a one-piece wheel with no lip.

I agree for the most part. Anyone want to buy some wheels?

Gun metal is done so much! It looks sweet though.. If I end up with a bright color I will have to buy a new set that does not have the dish.
