Can anyone change colors on wheels in pics - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

LGAFF · 05-28-2009

Got a few chips in the Dymag paint from taking them on and off, was thinkng of switching colors to the old bronze/gold used on mag wheels in the 70s.

Can anyone photoshop this color onto my wheels?

Might look like Sh#$..also not sure when I will get time to do this with cam emblems, porting, and headers to do.

Here ya go. It's not exactly what it would look like if you actually painted them, but I think it's pretty close, gives you an idea of what it would look like anyway. I think it actually looks pretty good with the red:

I don't know, I still think they would look better on MY car..

That's a motif popular back in the late 70's and early 80's when Burt Reynolds
was nailing Sally Fields in Smokey and the Bandit. Wheels look way too heavy
IMO.

Please don't paint it black and throw a screaming chicken on the hood!

(Mine is black minus the chicken).

Thanks for posting, if the car sat lower, I think they would look better.

no.. gold does not look right.. Silver looks better

9 out of 10 Cylons prefer polished gold

. The flat gold does not go right with that beautiful red car. I have to agree the flat silver is probably the WTG here Lee. GC

Don't get just one gold tooth, get yourself a full grill. I can hook you up if you want.
