My New Wheels...Hmmm...I'm not sure (***UPDATED ON PG6***)

[RedRobin]

^^^^
I agree that an extremely high gloss (when kept as clean as you do) does help via reflection 

[john_o]

I like them
need to be an inch bigger though.

2 options spring to mind

1. paint the infill in black (where the lip is) leaving the spokes silver
2. paint the spokes black having the infill silver

or

having a black / dark silver line put into the centre of each spoke from centre to wheel edge

can anyone photoshop them darker for him ?...

I would be great if someone could photoshop me some different colours.

might be a bit harder to photoshop, but if someone wants to try?


Here is an example of how good Silver wheels look on Tornado Red Gti's.  Its a bit trickier on a Reflex silver Gti.

have to say i wasnt keen on my silver calitos on reflex silver, the crome rim was lost...iv seen the wheels on grey and black cars and loved them ...i just didnt like them on my car

Photoshops a nightmare to use to change colours where there are reflections etc.....but ok to replace wheels

Nice wheels, and i agree with everyone else about the colour 

[TurboTrev]

Backward step IMHO - prefer the original ED30 wheels to those.  Sorry.

[joesgti]

WOW Andrew, That looks a million times better,    You didn't do that with MS Paint now did you? I would love to know how to do what you did there.

Haha, no, MS Paint was not featured!

I basically used the pen tool (in Photoshop) to create a selection of the parts of the wheel that we want to change colour, so the rim and spokes. I then duplicated this shape into a new layer (so as not to destroy the originals) and then just played with the levels to decrease the brightness but ensure I don't loose any of the reflections (white areas).

^^^well thats gone way over my head mate    I will learn how to do it one day. Thanks again for your work bud.

[matsu]

the anthracite looks sweet cos there needs to be a difference between the car and wheels imo.
 its the reason in my mind why high silver looks good on black/red/grey..but not on reflex silver.
but that thought process doesnt work on black car and greeners car proes it.
go with anthracite or black mate.... its aggressive
ill shut the door on me way out lol.....

I think they will look a whole lot better in Anthracite

IMHO anthracite is something "between"...if you know what I mean.

Leave them hypersilver or go for blacks...

Something like this...

that is a bit over the top for me and yet i love it... hard as nails
