PhotoChop Needed

Can someone please photochop the rims with a red pinstripe and the centers painted white?

I would be eternally grateful

Unfortunately no, its hard to find these rims on a white car, but I'll scour the threads and see if I can find any better pictures.

Took a break from work and did a real quick chop...hopefully it gives you an idea. The resolution made it kinda hard to do real quality work, but enjoy anyways.

The first picture was easier to work with and I tried it once with the entire lip pinstriped, but it was a bit fat and odd looking so I put a thinner one on in the first picture.




The second picture had minimal area to actually work with and it was tough to get a clean line especially on that back wheel, but I tried.


Anyways, hope this helps. I think the setup looks great even with a crappy photoshop job.
Enjoy

I like it, I dont have the pccbs on my car, but I think its pretty cool and may even look better with the red brakes.

Should I go with just the pin stripe and the regular silver finish or pin stripe and white centers?

Decisions, decisions, lol.

It depends on how you feel about white wheels in general I'd say.
If you've always been a fan and like the matching look with the red stripe as an accent then by all means, I think it looks great and go for it. The red brakes would definitely complete the look.
In that sense, although more common now, black with red would look pretty slick too I think.

But if you want a bit of contrast in a subtle sense, the silver isn't bad, it's a pretty light shade and depending on the light is almost whitish really.
I personally like the metallic look of silver whereas you loose that sheen with white, but for this car, either one...

Decisions indeed...

I can definitely knock the black with red pin stripe of the list as Im not really a fan. I think its best for darker cars going for that shadow look.

One other option I considered was going completely red, but I think thats over the top.

So most likely its either red pin stripe and silver, or red pinstripe and white.

I figured about the black, otherwise you would have asked for that chop...
The red is very JDM with their odd green/purple/etc solid colored wheels...I'm not a fan. I think it's just odd unless its a GT3RS with orange wheels and even then I'd like the orange car with black wheel anyways.

I'd flip a coin between the remaining two of silver or white or just go with the wheel color you'd have without the pinstripe...as you probably like one more than the other anyways.

With that logic I think I would probably go with silver, because I do like the silver finish. And white might be a bit over the top, but the red pinstripe might just be enough of a fun touch to set the car apart a little bit. Especially after I get my PSS10s installed.

85% leaning towards just the pin stripe.

Are those champion wheels? Not bad, but before u get em take a look at a set of p43 or 593R's made by HRE, i know that they are common, but in our area our wheels take a toll... i like the reputation of HRE and seems as though they really make quality wheels. The P43's i think look similar, better in my opinion but also the 593Rs may be lighter and what ur looking for
