--> Wheel Help Needed!!

so im in the market for some wheels, but dont wanna spend the money without having an idea of what they would look like on my 8 so i am looking for someone who is good at photoshop to help me out a little i have some ideas of different wheels that i need photoshopped onto my rx8, so that i can get an idea of which ones to buy. and of course there is something in it for you cause i would not expect anyone to spend the time doing this and not expect something in return. Ill send you some money via Paypal that would make the effort worth while. if interested in helping shoot me a PM, and ill fill you in some more. first PM will get the "job"

there is a list of about 8-10 wheels:

1) Foose DF5 even though they are foose wheels they may look okay on the 8
2) HP Design Evo
3) Axis matrix
4) Motegi SX5
5) Racinghart Rs 722
6) Advan t6 and t7
7) Venti Ve056
8) Lexani Exin-5
9) Tork Matrix

as i said its a range of wheels, i have pics of a few of those from searching on here like the axis matrix and the tork matrix

thanks for the compliments. my stockers had worn out tires so i couldn't tell you for sure. it still handles pretty good though. i took it through the Dragon and pushed it pretty hard.

BTW, i think Racing Hart RS 721's would look good on your car. the ones with the machined face.

thanks nuke ill have to check out those racing hart i dont remember what they look like. Alucard, i have seen those before, my problem is this im picky as can be, i want things on my car that other cars have around me. I have a supra a couple of condos down that has some tenzo's on there and then all of the other cars that i hang out with up here all have bronze, black, or gunmetal wheels. So im looking to go chrome, but the problem is i dont wanna look like i took some wheels off of an Escalade and stuck them on my 8. I really like the lexani wheels but im afraid thats to much chrome for the 8. thats why i need someone to photoshop them on my car. I also am looking for a set of wheels with a decent sized lip. I know I know some people dont care for wheels like this, but i am going for some wheels that look like the veilside wheels on the orange rx7 in one of the fast and furious, i could tell you which one just know that i have seen pics around the internet. My plan is to get some of the wheels photoshopped on the car, and then put a poll out and see what everyone else thinks and than i will compare there thoughts with my own to figure out which wheels to buy come this spring.

well Nuke you got me to fall in love with those RacingHart 721 wheels you posted up here, so i started to do my research. Found these, they are Axis shine's almost the exact some wheels and about half the price. Not the best pic but I may be sold on these. What do you guys think?
