Photoshop help please!!!

Can someone plese photo shop these wheels on my BBP coupe. I know that the Tenzo type M wheels are popular on the 8th gen. But for the price I can't find anything else that I really like. I'm thinking of going with either flat black or gunmetal. Leaning more toward the flat black. Any help is appreciated and opinions are welcome.

My car:




Black:






Charcoal:

It's really YOUR choice at the end of the day. Either color wheel is going to have a positive effect.

my best effort.

I personally dont like em'. 2 reasons

1. I dont like ALL black rims. They all look alike, u can't see any of the features of it etc... Gunmetal, silver, hell even chrome lip sure.

2. I dont think they are available in 20's I could be wrong but i didnt' see it on the website. so you'd have to do 19" max. which I still think is too small for this car.

Either way. completely up to you. hopefully the pic helps with the decision

+1 The all black rims would maybe go with an all black car, but I would choose gunmetal or, preferably, silver.

Thanks for the input and the photoshop.

I would prefer 20" (i think) but like i said i'm not too sure on anything yet. Any chance that you could throw the gunmetal one on there really quick?

thanks what color are those? Bronze i think, wish I could see the gunmetals on a blue coupe.

Wheel choices are so difficult... AHHHHH!
After a year I was highly dissatisfied with the wheels i had on my civic. I don't want to repeat that situation.

I second that. Get some 20's silver or chorme. Im not digging all black rims at all. Black with chrome lip is sick on black cars and thats it.

the pics you posted dont really work, beacuse of the colors between the spokes.

What I did was a google search for the wheels.

I took the black ones from here:


and the silver ones from here:



If you'd like gunmetal, find me a pic of a car with gun metal ones where the pic was taken at roughly the same angle as the pics you posted of your car.

Granted really good photoshop guys dont need this, but I'm not that good lol so hook up a pic of any car from that angle with the gunmetal ones and I'd be happy to put them on there for you.

I must say it looks awesome... probably the only thing all black looks good on in my opinion (white cars)

nevertheless if it was my car I'da went with a chrome lip or silver face... and still look too small to me.

thanks for your help starbai, i'll look around for gunmetal pic. thanks again could you also do an axis elite? i have the pic of the axis car and a shop a guy did to make the car blue but the pic looks a bit too unrealistic to make a good decision.

Pic of axis elite:
