A few pics of my car with different wheels

Well, I was bored so I played around a little in PSP.

Stock:

Well, not completely stock. The rims are polished.

2nd gen Snowflakes:

Not that bad actually if you ask me.

Black (or charcoal?) GTA + slight lowering:

Not as good as I thought.

Centerline(?) Billet Wheels + lowering:

I think I like it.

Bling Bling rims + massive lowering:

Uh, no.

/edit: adding some more...

Gold GTA + lowering:

Not that bad but not perfect.

Impala SS:

Don't like it at all.

2nd Gen Z28:

NO!

American Racing:

Never liked them, but they look good on my car.

I think the black GTA's look great! The tires were a little to bright and makes the rims not look as good as they would IMO!

i think the gold GTAs looked the best on a maroon or dark red car.

I think the Impala wheels would look good on your car if you tried something bigger than the equivalent of a 14" wheel.

Ok, I made them a little bigger. Still, they don't really fit my car.

I need a good head on shot of them.

Acutually, I tried to chop them on, but the angle wasn't right. I suck at editing pics, so I can only do it with head on pics, like this:

Man, you were bored, even I don't do that much photoshopping in a day. I think the GTAs in grey or black or the TT2s look the best.
