Anyone any good with photoshop?

I need to get my wheels refurbed but can't decide to keep them silver or go gloss black. Can someone photoshop my wheels black if possible please so i can make my mind up.

if you are in the habit of curbing your wheels then black paint is going to make the damage stand out even more. You should go for wider profile tyres so the rims are normally protected.

I'm not in the habit of curbing them. I just wanted it to look a bit different.

Black wheels look awful on 99% of cars, avoid like the plague.

Will have a crack when I get home if know one else does.
You may be better of with anthacite, other wise the wheel/tyre/arch tends to merge.

Cheers Benzine. Any chance of doing them gloss black without the mental drop. Where's Xzibit? Why is it glowing now?

the problem with the original photo is they're not glossy, so needs all the reflection etc drawn in by hand. its not just a change of colour, but prectically needs the wheels drawn in by hand again. not a particularly straight forward job

Totally agree, black wheels just look like manky, unwashed steelies.

I've seen some beemers with gloss black wheels and didn't think it looked good at all. The wheels were shinier than the car. Unless you use the same paint as the car they'll be just slightly different blacks and just slightly different finishes and clash horribly.

IMHO of course
