Photoshop request

could someone please make the silver parts of my rims red (to match the interior). This is what I have for pics right now. Thank you in advance.


Edit: How do I make the pics small enough to post? Or if your up to the task I will email them to you. Thanks again!

I'm not very good at photoshop, I tried it and it didn't come out right (not worth posting). The red rims looked odd anyway, with the door closed and tinted windows, nobody is going to notice the match to the interior (unless you drive around with your doors open). Also the yellow sidemarker just looked strange... good luck with the project.

Yeah, the sidemarkers will be gone as soon as I know where to send the money. I will be doing other things to accent the red wheels other than the leather inside so I would appreciate anybodies help still.

double ewww, I wanted just the centers and keep the lip chromed along with the bolts for the rim and the lugs. Picturing it in my head I know it will look better than that. But it would probably not turn out as good as I had hoped. Thank you anyways cue!!

I'm not quite sure what you mean, or why you would want to match the rims with your interior, but what the hell i took a stab at it.

Heres one with the spokes red.


Heres one with the inner lip, caps, and lugs red.


heres one with just the spoke insides red.

um, imho red wheels don't work :D the one pix w/ the red center and red stripes looks alright, but the color combination (silver and red) looks too much like a nismo gig, which looks nice but on the wrong car.

i think if you want to paint the wheels should paint 'em either black or gunmetal

Thats what I was trying to decide also, just wanted to get an idea what it would look like if I went a little wild. On another note could one of you guys try these rims on my car. Thanks for your work and your opinions.

The set on it are Traffic Star DTM's which have since been bought out by Lowenhart and being sold under the brand name of Maya (can't remember if they changed the style name). The others are Konig "Holes" a new style they put out this year.

they are now sold as "Maya DTM's", so I assume they didnt change the name. They look awesome BTw.

They were 19x8" 43mm offset with 235/35/19 toyos' which are a little shorter diameter than stock (about 3/8") but the suspension was unchanged.

Do you know if these rims will work with the tire pressure monitor system?

Wouldnt a shorter diameter tire screw up the calibration of the speedo? thanks
