Opinions and Photoshop Request: 18" Painted Wheels

I've been thinking about whether to paint my Cayman S wheels white (ext color), black, or just leave them alone and get some aftermarket wheels at some point. I've searched for some photos and found the wheel in white, and was wondering if somebody could photoshop it in black. Let me know what you guys think looks best. It's hard to tell from the photo, but the white with the silver spokes seems a little washed out. May be it looks better 'live'?? As always, thanks. <input width="640" height="480" type="image" src="/UserFiles/picture.pcp.jpg" /><input width="640" height="480" type="image" src="/UserFiles/picture-2.pcp.jpg" />

DaveC - from way up here in Canada they don't look washed out. But the red brakes REALLY stand out. What about those red 18" wheels that RedRocket (I think) was showing for a while?

Can anybody photoshop the alum-look package on a Carrera white?

I know there are several folks here that are really good with PS. FWIW, I think the white with the white rims looks fantastic.

Tonser,


I didn't like the alum-look from that picture. I don't know if it's the black rims that don't go with it, though.


Thanks man, that was nice of you!

I agree Fiebru, the alum kit looks better without black wheels.

Tonser you are awesome!!! Many, many thanks. What do you think? White car with plain wheels, black wheels, or white wheels?Don't think the Alum kit does anything for the white car, but it's a hell of a photoshop job! Again I really appreciate your taking the time to do this. Dave.

I think it depends on the look you are going for, the white wheels look fuller, while the black wheels look more narrow visually, so it depends on your preference. I like the white ones myself.
