Anyone care to photoshop me some wheels please?

Sanchez · 21 May 2009 at 14:07

Looking to get my wheels refurbed in the next week or so and rather than the original silver I've seen these that I really like the look of (I'll not post the images as they are pretty bit)

Wheels

Straight on but a little dark

You can get a picture of my car from here and loads more from here if that isn't the most suitable picture.

I'd prefer the first shots to be shopped really as the colours are much better but I appreciate the angle may be off. Anyone's help is really appreciated.

Also, anyone got any views on the wheels? Part of me thinks that being anthrasite they may be too dark for the car (plus, I'm a purist at heart really!

)

Did I post this in GD by accident?

Chol at the picture

Id imagine the darker wheels would look ok on a dark wee car

Anyone able to help with this? I might have to actually try and do it myself at this rate! :eek:

Gimmie a few mins and I'll have it done...even if it is badly.

Also...205 GTI :cool:

...shame it's a 1.6 though.

Nah, don't be silly, we drive 1.9s...well I should be in a few weeks if all goes to plan...

Anyway, on with the shop. I have to say I don't like pepperpots, but they do look good like that.

They don't seem to be popular for some reason. I really like em though. Wouldn't mine some 1.9s but ideally I'd invest in some SL434's :cool:

InvaderGIR · 23 May 2009 at 19:19

Hows this?

Slight pink/orange tinge to them due to the reflection of the cloth they were sitting on, but you get the idea.

Sanchez · 23 May 2009 at 19:23

That's great! Thanks. I think that they are too dark for the car really which is a shame as I really like them.

InvaderGIR · 23 May 2009 at 19:25

Not sure, I didn't bother tweaking them to make the lighting match. I have seen some anthracite wheels with a polished lip on 205s and they can look very good, although they were 1.9 alloys not the pepperpots.

I prefer the wider track the 1.9s give, hilarious when you put them on a 1.4 with no front bumper, looks like an evil offroader, wheels sticking beyond the arches and directional tread.

My quick effort

edit: oh beaten, and yours is better

Yeah the Goodwoods look ace on a Miami but then the 1.9 are gorgeous wheels full stop.

I should have a graphite 1.9 to play with in just over a week. I can't wait.

Got a couple of sets of alloys for it too...hmmm...Goodwood styling...

I think that's a similar colour to how they would look in that light and they really do look too dark

InvaderGIR · 23 May 2009 at 19:33

I'll make them look real...

Ooh are you getting rid of the 328? or keeping a 205 on the side as well?

SL434 are the win. There is a company making reps of them now. Would love a set.

Look awesome on 205 gti's as well

I'm sure you'll love the go-cart like experience! Graphite is definitely the best colour!

I'd love a 1.9 but I wanted one in good condition and with low miles and the money I had didn't stretch that far.

I'm sure you already have but if not get over to 205gtidrivers.com
