Help with color for my wheels, photoshop assistance needed
 

I have these wheels but in mercury silver and I am up in the air about getting the centers done gunmetal when I get the Lips refinished soon...

I got these used off a buddy for super cheap but he used acidic soap on them and stained the OG volk anodized lip...

The price difference isnt much more for me to powdercoat the middle as well as the lip being redone...

My options are to:

A) Just re finish the lips, re polish and clear them leaving them mercury silver

B) Re polish / clear them , and powder coat the center gunmetal

C) Gloss black Lip / Matte Black Center (acualy the cheapest price from the re-finisher as no polishing is needed )

I am leaning towards A but would love to see somoene help me out with some photoshop work.. I dont have much to re pay you but I will certainly add to your REP :tup:

thanks... A gloss black lip / matte black center photoshop would be a super bonus..

And now this is forcing me to upgrade my brakes... LSD and Wheels were already done, wheels were ditched not with these GTS my car is screaming for atleast the akebonos.. i will prob get the red ones from z1 ... cant wait...

Thanks in advance...

They look sunk like crazy! What offsets are those? I know you said the picture is pre-spacers...just curious.

I remember you saying you wanted to do the 40th color on your OEM 19s...why not do that finish with these wheels?

I actually really like the Mercury silver on your car. But I don't think a dark gunmetal would look bad either.

It's rough but the idea is there.

Thanks sir !!!!

the rear looks so sunk because the front is very aggressive... the rear is actualy +22 front is +17... i have a pic with 8mm worth of spacers ( a 5mm and 3mm nonsense spacer just installed for the pics ) and it looks almost perfect... This is with 8mm effectivly making them +14, I have 10mm H&Rs sitting right next to these wheels already..

Also his tire choice makes me stratch my head... he has 285/40/19 in the rear so theres a ton of extra rubber, negating my gears, and raising my car at the same time.. front is 255/50/19... Im going to get all new tires , not exactly sure on the size yet.. I have two months to make my mind up...

Rep added dark sub rosa :tup:

Wow, those offsets are actually pretty good. I guess the side profile just made it look deceiving. Those tire sizes are retarded, haha.

I actualy made a mistake... the rear tires aer 285/35/19

junk tires though. Kumho Esta SPT's ... Fronts are Nitto Invos 255/35/19

I dont know what to do with them

chuck, I tried a few... not the best but here's one in gunmetal and one with gloss blk lips and flat blk faces
