Some one help please!!

Ok i know many of Photoshop request have been asked by thousands of people. But could someone help me big time make up my mind on rims for my car. It is between the Torque thruster 2's in chrome or the 2002 Z06 Rims in chrome. Could someone photoshop those rims on my car below and have it lowered about 2 inches. I can't keep my Iroc rims due to traction tire size. Someone please help. Thanks.

IMO, just from looking at it, go with the TTII's. I gotta learn how to do this stuff.

I was thinking about it. I want the 17X9.5 all around. What backspacing would I need for that. And I would probably go with some BFG Drag Radials on the back and Firestone Firehawks on the front of Michillen Pilot Sports. Tough decision.:lala:

Anytime Man! Like I said, I could have done a better job but it was really late and I was rushing it. Yeah, those Torque Thrust IIs look sweet on your car. Let us see some pics when you get 'em.

Ok twistid, here ya go. The wheel sizes are estimates of course, but they give a good idea of what they will look like.

You can see right through those rims, never liked that much.
