Alright this is a photoshop but i was just seeing how people thought they would look on our cars.

I don't particularly like the color, the black ice is more for me. The rims are cool though, and ROH is awesome for making 3rdgen specific rims. But I guess teh color would just be determined by what color the car is..

nolanr0413

o man , that would look awesome on a recaero ta,the ones with the black on top and the gold gfx. That would look really sharp, or even a white car with gold gfx.

too gold. It would have to have a silver lip to make it look right.

jensen73110

I think it would need a black car. Could look very cool though......

therckid

well then how about this one,

hwcoll95

iTrader: (6)

luv'em,wish i had the $$$ for a set of those!!??!!

iTrader: (3)

much better!

therckid

to make that color, would you need it power coated or auto paint to make that color? Maybe even real gold? I dunno.

what about 4th gen firehawk rims in gold????

I mean the regular ones are the ones i'm getting but if i can get them a cool color then i'll do that too.

Graboid

crap

therckid

yeah i was sorta thinking the same thing


These photoshops are my first where i actually did something.

I'm trying to find a color right for the firehawks but its hard my friend. I cant seem to get the color balance to make things go black. I want to ad black color toit and i cant.


Shane

therckid

how do you think regular firehawks would look like on our cars. They are pretty cheap too. $699 for 4 silver painted ones and $1099 for chrome ones

seen below-


and chrome




I think the chrome loks good but to match the color of my car the silver might just be better, what do you think, here is my car-

Blah, 4th gen wheels are kinda on the boring side, IMO. But how about the above wheel in gold with a chrome rim.....?

therckid

i dunno, i kinda like those firehawk rims. But i'm not good enough to make them snypers into chrome. I'm not really a big fan of chrome. I'm more into bare aluminum, stainless steel, and silver finishes. Those are my colors. I'd like to have a nice chrome engine bay though, thats awesome, but not on the exterior.

I dunno, i might try the Snypers but i dont wanna get something that later i'll regret. Snypers are cool and all, but the firehawks, well nobody on here has done it, Nobody.

Gold rims are fine in my opinion as long as you just have the inner part of the rim gold, because I like to see some contrast with a polished lip against any kind of color coated rim.

dont like em not a fan of gold at all

90firebird

more my taste.... excuse the bad photoshop and the resize.... cardomain wasnt letting me upload it...

therckid

yeah thats exactly what i was trying todo in the first place. How did you get em to be black?


Also reason why cardomain wouldn't let you is becuase its in an uncompressed format(BMP). Next time try putting it into jpg, or png. Much better compression and png has lossless compression which is much better.

Kidrcth:

...for black....just mess with the brightness and saturation!

I LOVE those gold snypers!!!! ...with the polished lip.

...but then, I'm kinda partial to gold!

therckid

yeah d00d, thanks to your tutorial i was able to start effectively using my PhotoShop.

Again though, how would you get that kinda finish on a wheel? powdercoat maybe? Just regular paint? Or gold plate it(lol, not really)?


Shane

therckid

which rim would look better on my car guys-


$480 for 4



or


$485 for 4



or


$580 for 4

I'd go Z06 cuz they look trick, especially if they are 18's.

CaysE

Z06 baby

kretos

zo6 all the way

Gambit69

Hey kidrcth, where are you getting those prices for the corvette rims. I am looking to get a set for mine but I want black ones. I have found a place that I can get them powder coated black for around $30 a rim if I can't find any black corvette rims.

therckid

ebay man!!!!!

therckid

that titanium color will go great with the Platinum color of my car too wont it?

here the car-


and heres the rim-


I think it might just be, the perfect match, what do you think? Anybody up for a photoshop? I'm not that advanced yet.


Shane

tpiroc

Aaaah yeah

therckid

Also, nothing really over 17 cause then tire prices are almost as much as one rim.

I might get my some Z06 rims, with the 9.5in width. Get me some 275/40/17 tires and i'll be rolling. Reaping the benefits of extra traction and new looks.

Also kinda looking at ZR1 rims that are black, 17x11 in rear and 17x9.5 in front. Get me some 315/?/17 for the rear, and get even more traction. Though someone told me that the 315s couldn't fit in our wheel wells without rubbing on everything.


Shane

formul8!!

I had gold GTA rims on my Formula for a while. I bought them cheap and was going to paint them black. I sold them and make some profit and put the stockers back on until I bought the RONALS. I have seen the RONALS with gold windows on a white GTA and a Turbo T/A and did not look too bad.

I think with the right paintjob, the gold would look good. I've always been a fan of white w/ gold pearl paintjobs, and gold colored wheels. I thought about doing it to my ROH ZS's, but more of a Bronze instead of gold (just darker gold), and a polished lip. But I decided to go with black instead because it would match better with other colors (in case I want to put the wheels on any of my other Camaros). My cars are Orange, Green, and Black so the Black spokes would match better with those colors instead of the Gold. I say it all depends on what color the car is.

therckid

what do ya think i got fruity one to photo shop them on there for me. I think it looks goos, do you?

therckid

therckid

i also got him to do the firehawk rims too. Do you like these beter or what?

therckid

tell ya what guy. I'm gonna say f*ck the Z06's the firehawks look 3 times better. The firehawks it is.



Shane

therckid

i mean after color correcting the pic the Z06s look aweful. I mean look at them

therckid

These look so much better, it makes me wonder why nobody puit them on. They look great. They look awesome. And they are cheap, $699 for 4 rims. they are 17x9 too. That means i can put my 275/40/17's on there. Its gonna be perfect. Well 275/40/17s on the back and, i dunno what i should put up front. Any suggestions? I might just put the same size so i can rotate them(beable to take em off the rim and rotate them that way). Its gonan be awesome d00ds.


See the rims here,

Those Z06s on your car look all wrong. They'd look 1000 times better if they were photoshopped well.

Look at tpiroc's car. Now THAT owns.

therckid

i know, but his are chrome, the ones i was looking at were painted silver. Thats why they are messed up. Thats also why i'm getting the firehawks. They are only $699, and Z06's are a heaping $900.


Shane

therckid

also i rephotoshopped the firehawks a while ago and they came out very nicely.

therckid

after redoing the photoshop heres what i got

Whats up with this???? Is this Snoop Doggs 3rd gen? Seems a bit Pimpish.

ES87iroc

Hmm.. anyone feel like they have read this post a hundred times?!? .......or ones just like it.....

therckid

you guys are obsessed with dawging on me.

devianb

I don't like them all gold, would look best with just the inner rim part gold.

therckid

i thought this was old, like 3 months old.
