Photoshop help...

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting Crager Keystone Classics for my firebird. Can anyone do a quick and dirty photoshop job so I can see how it would look on my ride?

Here's the page on Crager's site of the rim.
Keystone

Usually, people will be more likely to do the job if you give them a pic of your car and the wheel at the same angle. In your case, they could use your sig pic, but I would post a pic of the rim too to help them out a little.

BTW: I think they would look pretty good on your car

Well all I could find is a pic of the wheel on the Crager site. Check the edit on my first post.

Okay, here's what I've come up with. What do you think or is it too small to tell?

That would be a recently planted tree, the center stick is the tree, the 2 outer sticks are holding it straight.

Alright, now that you've critiqued the surrounding landscape, how about those rims I photoshopped on there?

Yeah I'd say the pic is too small to tell. You need a closer pic.

Actually, I like it because it contrasts nicely with the white. Now a different, darker color and it might look ****ty. Thanks Deadbird!

Well, its either these of the Crager S/S rims, but I thought all that chrome wouldn't look all that great on a white car. Thats why I like the Keystone's, the black contrasts the white, that way it doesn't look like all chrome.

Some people need to drive in the city with a lot of stop and go traffic.

Well that quote is mine. I derived it from a Star Wars line.

I have driven in the city in stop-n-go traffic. I'd rather sit in stop-n-go traffic in a Hemi-Cuda :rockon: than drive 100mph on an open freeway in a Honda . And yes, I would push my car rather than drive an import. :lala:

I don't know about you guys but you look alot stupider pushing a broken car down the road then you do driving down the road in a lamborghani.......

A lamborghani is an import...........

Also IMO i don't think those rims look good at all.........just my opinion though.........Chrome TT 2's would look better since you are going for that style....
