Thumbs up PhotoShop Help Needed, Please

I would like to see what this car would look like w/ 16” fuchs, centers painted to match. The car came w/ 15’s (lower photo). I had these 17” Cup wheels for about 5 years. Sold them, and now I’m thinking of having Al Reed to finish a set of 16’s for the car.

Im just looking for a change. I'm going to remove the tail (i air brushed that out) and put 16” fuchs on ….I think…I may be kicking my self in the ass for selling those wheels…..oooh well…


thanks
R

Sorry I can't provide any Photoshop help, but...

The car looks great with the updated rims. I have Fuchs right now, but will probably go to the same rims you have in about 1-2 years (when tires need to be replaced).

Of course, I think I'll keep my Fuchs in the storage room though, just in case. :P

Personally the wheels that you have now are some of my favorite non-Fuchs for asthetics, but not for performance.

sorry yellow, I did this before I read your post. I suspect you could do a better job though.

Cup wheels Blow! Look like crap on any Porsche. Never understood the logic behind Cup wheels.

BTW...how much does it cost for the parking on the beach

See the difference in opinion....

I think the Cups look WAY better. I've never understood the affection some have for the Fuch wheels. I'd keep both sets (which I have) but I enjoy the look of the Cups more and certainly get more comments 'Nice car...' with the Cups than when I use the Fuch.

Occasionally I swap back to the Fuch but they just dont do it for me.

I must say I am starting to like the clean rear end without the turbo or whale tail. If I was keeping my 87 I'd remove it.

Just my 1c

Mark


edit - sorry if I took your thread and moved it away from your
intended task, to get a photoshop.

No offense expathk...Its just my opinion that cup wheels look totally out of place on any Porsche. They are goofy-conservative looking...not sporty...not aggressive like a Porsche should be. Cup wheels would be better suited for a Pontiac Grand Am....imo.

btw...you have a beautiful car (would look even better with fuchs

How about a Twist in a polished or chrome? That has always been about the only thing that I would consider other than the Fuchs.
