anyone is a Photoshop Master ?

Stados · 01-20-2009, 03:08 AM

I was thinking about buying a new set of Wheel for my Car. They will be same size as the one on car yet. I have tried to evaluate what they will look on the car, but I've no talent on modifying picture.

If someone with this talent should take few minute to make this picture, it will be great.

And you should leave comment about those wheels.

Thanks to all of you.

i can do it after i reinstall photoshop. I'm a photoshop wiz. Took classes in highschool for graphic design and web design (using macromedia)

mr2death · 01-20-2009, 05:38 AM

I love your car. It was the wallpaper for my computer for a while. Why you changing the rims? Change of pace? Lighter? The ones you have look better in MHO.

Stados · 01-20-2009, 05:53 AM

One of the present wheel have "dent" which mean I couldn't balance the rim perfectly. I use to had Two set of rims. Has you may notice in some picture I have what is needed to town a trailer, So I'm now looking on for a small trailer, like motorcycle trailer. Then both set of rims will have her purpose.
1 for street use
1 for racing use. the racing will be the one that is impossible to balance perfectly.

I know the Bronze looking damn good the one on the car. But I want a good ride quality when I drive it. It is not that bad, but just enough to make me searching for a new set of rims and the proper tow pak to bring the other set with me sometime, and R compound tire.

I'm no master but I can use GIMP to reasonable effect. The lip looks a little white and the back wheel looks like it hit a curb if you look close and I gave you low profile tyres lol. I could use distorts and colour balances to make it look perfect but the extra time for that little bit more is not really worth it. Also really high res pictures make it easier. I scaled up the 800 x 601 then back down again to post.

I'm sure someone can outdo this. Bonus point to anyone who uses distorts and filters to do the car at an odd angle.

Stados · 01-20-2009, 07:00 AM

Here is an High Rest picture with original Tire.

Thanks a lot for that picture. Seeing that picture, and I'm not sure I'll love those rims, but as you said, making rims looks darker like the car, and it should look good. But make me thinking about Ground Control to drop the car bit more. (Now on Eibach/koni)

328FTW · 01-20-2009, 07:09 AM

It is getting late tonight but if nobody has bothered I can do it tomorrow. I can't see any rush to do it. It isn't like you have the rims on order or anything. And that photo with the stock rims makes your whole car look dull. I forgot how ugly unpolished stock wheels are.

There is one problem though. Everytime I open a photo editor I feel tempted to do something like shop your car into a strange situation because that is what I normally do

Stados · 01-20-2009, 07:56 AM

HAHA, enjoy yourself, if you want to Laught at my car :P
And you were right, no rush. Here in Quebec, summer didn't show up before Mid-April, and I'll want to order rims like beginning of march. I had browse the web to find the right rims, Looking to Rota RB and some other. But those one are the one that I think has the best look.

Yes stock rim and stock Signal Lense make the car look ugly ! I'm not a Fan of Exterior mod, but those two are the better thing I have made, instead of the beams engine.

Now I was looking to find a solution to make an Exhaust like your's. Could be Quiet in cruising mode, but should switch to the Direct Exhaust mode if I want to.

328FTW · 01-20-2009, 06:14 PM

Since nobody did it while I was asleep I quickly knocked off a picture today. This time the wheels are in proportion and are 14 inch (I don't know what size they actually are) plus I darkened them a bit because they are not in direct light like they are in the rims picture.

Don't look too close, the difference between a user and a master is in the detail. I do CAD usually not shop.

muffinman · 01-21-2009, 11:25 AM

Don't buy those wheels IMO they look horrible.

Stados · 01-21-2009, 12:14 PM

You were right, from the edited picture that look horrible, but in my mind they look great, so it's a dilemma ! I'm now thinking of backing up from buying those rims, but I don't know what rims I am goiing to buy... maybe Konig Helium Bronze, they look like the one on car yet. But I want different offset, that -40 offset look horrible for rear wheel. I have bought spacer (25mm) but two tire are screw up. I need to roll the fender, but when I knock on the car, I should guess they are some Body Job on passager side, so this operation probably make the paint crack.

Man, that was hard to find the best Wheel offset and look for our car.

muffinman · 01-21-2009, 12:26 PM

What size rim are you going with? Maybe with a lower profile it would look different. I think your car looks great now.

Stados · 01-21-2009, 09:55 PM

I looking for same size as now (15") or maybe a nice 16".

328FTW · 01-21-2009, 10:37 PM

How about these? They are 15" 40 offset but meh.

I really like your current rims but that is not to say that there is no substitute out there.

Stados · 01-22-2009, 12:03 AM

Whatever they weight, I'll keep my current Bronze rims (13lbs) for any purpose that required light weight, and they'll be mounted with better traction tire.
I looking for a set that will receive tire with more thread life for the cruises ! I'm pissed about buying 2 new tires/summer and 4 tires sometime.

328FTW, those rims make me saying.. I have to look for darker rims, the gold one is not as nice as a Bronze or Black Wheels. Not sure I really love the red stip on those rims, I'm not a guy that said.. Look At me... my exhaust is loud enough to make this happen, and I don't like it. I find the gold one nice, as they have Old Style !

Firts set of rims that I have look at is Konig Csharp but don't think they will look great on car. Then Konig Rewind and Heatsink was in my mind too. To finnaly fall in love with the Maxxim, but they didn't look as well as I thought !

Now I will check again if I could find something that I like from tiretrend or 1010tire. As they are Canadian Based company.

Thanks you guy for those "updated" picture and comment.

328FTW · 01-22-2009, 12:31 AM

The gold ones would look good on my red/gold car if you want to send them my way

That second set I posted I'm not crazy about the stripe either but the wheel shape looks good imo. One of my better looking sets came off a 1986 honda integra and I painted them myself from grey to gloss black. New wheels are very much nicer though.
