Opinions - black rims with stainless steel lip

Dear all,

Would appreciate your comments on the latest finish for wheels - stainless steel lip.

As my car is black I have opted for black spokes with stainless steel lip which is reflective. I hope that I am able to attach the pictures.

Thanks.

Picture of the wheel on the car. Had to crop the picture to reduce memory.

Would appreciate any advise how to reduce a jpeg file of 4.5MB to 2MB.

What program are you using?

If you don't have a real image editing program, just use MS paint.

Start menu-->Accessories-->Paint

then

Image-->Stretch/Skew-->reduce horiz. and vert. by the same percent, save as .jpg

Do that until it's 800 pixels wide or less, then you should have a picture somewhere around 100k.

Baron,

Thanks for the tip. But the picture does not do justice to the car...

FYI if you have photoshop another way to reduce file size is right click the picture - edit in photoshop. Once it opens go to save as (or CTRL+SHIFT+S) save it as a JPEG (PSD will be the default) it will take you to a sub-menu which you can lower the quality. That's the way I do it.

To me this is the mother of Black Wheels with Polished lip. I have these on my RX7:

Work Meister S1: Forged Two Piece wheel








If I could afford them for the 8 I'd get em. Looks like only one set for my family of cars.
