Photochop Request

Hey Killer! If you are reading this, can you photochop this HRE wheel on my RX8? Maybe getting these wheels this weekend if the deal doesn't fall thru..

Thanks Killer! With the staggered setup I am going with I think it will look good. At the price I negoitated I can't go wrong and still have the opportunity to upgrade to some TE-37s later on and not lose any money on them. Think I just went from baller status to bargain hunter

Can you to slam it on the this pic?

There is something slightly visually disturbing about the color of the wheels.

Your car has two main colors, red with black trim, with just a bit of a chrome accent on the front.

People expect to see silver wheels on a car so that 4th color (in addition to the red, black and chrome) is expected, but the new matte gray'ish white looks a bit too aftermarket to me.

IMO (for whatever it is worth - your opinion may be different) a mod should integrate well with the rest of the car and should look like it came from the factory that way.

I even find the factory accessory front lip visually disturbing as it looks tacked on.

It is a nice wheel and it looks stunning with the drop but it may look more integrated with a traditional silver finish.

The oe wheels are actually gunmetal gray. However, the centers on these HRE should be more of a brilliant silver and less grayish and satin looking. Guess we will know tomorrow if I get them or not

Very nice. Those are good looking (and of course quality) wheels - especially with the drop.

You could paint the chrome bits to match your wheel color to pull it all together too.
