New rims for my car? Photoshop request, please!!

Photoshop some nice rims onto my car.

Also can someone photoshop the 84 z51 corvette rims on my car? I am in need of a change in the appearence and this would do it.

My Car:

Corvette rims i like from my dads old car: http://www.buycablesnow.com/vette/

Not the best pics but those are the ones i like, btw the vette is sold.

Thanks in advance!

IMHO, 84 vette rims are the worst looking rims EVER.........(the vette is my favorite car 2) if i got an 84-87 vette the rims would be the first thing to go

how about the ZR1 style or 91-96 "shredder" style

those are rims.

I think they suit the car, but hey, whatever.

I found some locally, 6 rims with rubber for $250 so id figure id see what the look like on my car.

I would like new rims and i'd like to see some darkened chrome ones or chrome/silver. i don't want rims that would be worth more than the car!

Thanks,
Chris J

Edit: Found some shredders on eBay with minor minor damage for $99 and the auction ends tomorrow...

Really good photoshop work! If im gonna dump so money into wheels i better think about it for a while, its alot of money!

I'm gonna keep saving for rims and until i see alot of different ones on diff. and similar cars i wont make my decision. Guess i got some online searching to do.

ZR1 wheels?

Get the ZR1 or Z06 wheels. Stay away from them. The totaly take away from your ride. I like the black cross lace (honeycomb) wheels my self, try them, that would look killer!

Yea they do kinda "distract" becuase there is such a contrast.

Black crosslace honeycomb?

I wanna know about any darkened chrome rims or black/dark ones i can buy.

Thanks

Here are some ZR1 rims (crappily) integrated with your car. I really could have done better, but oh well.

Good work again ws6, me want zr1 rims!

These things are pretty expensive right? How much should i be looking to spend on a set of ZR1 rims?


Update:

I dont care how expensive they are, they fit my car, my car needs them, i can easily save the money, i wouldnt put them on until the spring so.......looks like thats what im set on getting. also trying to save up for a ram air hood and 4th gen spoiler from GT Auto, got a price quote from them so i guess i'll be selling alot on eBay....
