Default Can someone Photoshop my wheels?

I am thinking of having my wheels painted Meteor Gray to match the body color. I would appreciate it is someone could Photoshop either of these pictures and change the wheels to Meteor Grey.

Thanks!

Gonz,

Thank you so much for doing that! I think the combination looks good!

I can do a lot of things with photoshop, but I have not figured out how to change colors and retain the original highlights and shadows. It is either "user ignorance" or my low end version of the software can't do it. I am thinking it is the former.

Thanks again!

That looks good.

I am tired of the amount of brake dust making the front wheels look like they are gun metal gray, so I figured I might as well go darker to "hide" the dust a little.

Agreed, the painted wheels definitely helps to hide the brake dust.

my vote is for black wheels or at least keep the edges of the wheels silver if you paint meteor. When you see a car where the wheels match the body it seems a bit too much of the same.

I'm surprised one of our more talented "artists" haven't added a set of 22's to your car...

I agree, I beleive you'll have to go darker than the body color to have a good contrast

agree with above, this imo is the sexiest combo for your (my) car, ever since I am looking for factory finished sport designs in black:
