I need a quick Photoshop job on some wheels please

Here's what my car looks like:



and here are the wheels (the one to the farthest left is a front wheel for the pass side, and the 3rd one from the left is the rear pass side wheel):

Thanks!

I just wanna say the stock rims are pretty nice themselves, but if you're gonna go with anything, IMO go with the 1's in the sig picture that is already made.

Only reason I'm asking about these is because I can get a great deal on them. Boyds Wheels 17x10 rears with 315/35/17 tires and 17x8.5 fronts with 255/40/17 tires. I wanted to get an idea of what they would look like.

Eewwwwww

Thanks CaysE,

Oh my gosh...please poke me in the eyes and blind me now....I don't think I'll even go there. Not even for $650 for the whole set of wheels/tires.

That looks horrid! (Not the photoshop job...the wheels on my car!) I thought they would look better than that.

I would really like a set of the Boyds tuners in a 17", and I would paint/powdercoat the centers gold to look more like original.

Thanks,
-Shawn

Yes, stick with the stock ones, or maybe the ones in your sig. But those others look horrible.

Since we are on the subject, can anyone help??

I have narrowed my long search to 3 rims. I want to run a 17x9.5 rim with possibly a pair of 315/35 BFG street slicks. Here are three pix of my car because I do not know which one will be the easiest for you to work with. I have also attached three rims. Can you send me three pix (one with each rim)? Thanks much I appreciate it.

WHEELS

TTA... do you live in/near Bethlehem, PA? I think I saw you by the Wendy's next to Rt 78 today (Sunday) afternoon. Your car is more awesome in person.

Guys thanks for all the help!! I went with the infamous Torq Thrust 2s. I got the 17x8s with the BFG drag radials for the back and the BFG KDWS for the front 275/40 all the way around.

Gotta love the TTII's. They are definitely in my top 3 choices for wheels.
