I'm interested in photoshopping these rims and tires to my black 92 Firebird:

Can anyone help?

Re: Photoshop rims?

I couldn't find a straight on shot of those wheels so it was a tad hard to make work with your car at the angle it was but hopfully this helps in some small way.

Re: Photoshop rims?

Don't sweat it. It is a big help, so thank you!! How do you think they look on a black firebird? I'd prefer an all black rim, and this is the closest 15" retro rim I could find. Not 100% sure how I feel about the non-black machined rim. Your thoughts?

Re: Photoshop rims?

I think it looks fine. I' prefer a silver/polished lip over an all black wheel. When it's all black it blends in too much and no matter what the design looks like a steel wheel from a distance. You kind of need the contrast to brake the wheel from the tire.

Re: Photoshop rims?

Keep in mind that those tires are "S" speed rated (up to 112mph) and not not going to be very grippy. 112mph is way too low for even a 4cyl rotbox sedan in terms of speed rating - so you will want to look at other tires more performance oriented.

Re: Photoshop rims?

Thank you for the advice!
I'm actually going to mount some Firestone Precision H rated tires from my old rims to these.
