Cool!!!!!!! Thanks a million (which is about how many hours I'll spend using that thing )


For those who want to download the program
--->GO HERE<--- !!!!!!

It's taking me about 1hr. on a 56K modem while using DAP. I think it'll be worth the wait.

Thanks again iroc4ever,

AJ

EDIT Don't bother. It's only a demo and only has a few vehicles, none being ours.

I thought there would probably be some people on here who would find it interesting since everyones always asking others to photoshop rims for them

That is a really good site. Now we don't have to photoshop wheels at different angles on our cars anymore. I used to draw wheels by hand to see what they looked liked on my car.


Thanks for that website Iroc4ever. Even though I already bouht the wheels I want, it is still a great website to see different rims and even adjust the ride height. that really puts tirerack to shame.

I don't think it matters what rims you get for a lowered car to look good.

I still like having people photoshop pics though. I think it looks better, and you can pick from all of the wheels, not just some.


However, I am going to agree that our cars look slick lowered with aftermarket rims.

Later,
Jesse

Rims are the best thing you can do to improve the appearance of the car......whether it be moon disc or 3 spoke rims......it all depends on the look you are trying to achieve....

The rims you choose can also make or break your car as well. I have seen Two black TAs where they look exactly alike in every detail, but I liked one and not the other just based on the wheels.

Nice site, thanks for sharing, seems the rim sizes are a little out of proportion though..
