RSR Fuch on 3.2 Photshop help

Hello:
I've been playing with the idea of replacing my clear anodized Fuchs with RSR frosty paddle finish; can someone do their Photoshop magic to see how it would look?
Thanks,
J.P.

Car:


RSR finish:


I couldn't find a straight on shot, to make the paste up proportions easier.

Noah:
Yes, the paddles and outer rim are clear and the webbing with rain gutter are rough anodize.

Gary:
Thanks that's quite good, gives me a good idea. In person, the RSR look would look nice with the black car.
Thanks,
J.P.
What do you guys think?

JP, as attractive as the RSR finished Fuchs are, I think your clear-anodized rims really look sharp on your black coupe. Give it some thought, Doug

I think your wheels look great. What about just respraying the inners black? I recently redid mine and it wasn't that difficult. First one took the longest, figuring out the lines. After that, it was smooth sailing.

The clear anodization with a black background on your car would look sweet.

Jim:
You mean just mask off the clear area to avoid having to re-anodize with the RSR rough finish?

I think the RSR finish looks awesome on a black car.

But the biggest part of the improvement comes from the insets being painted. In my (very particular) opinion, Fuchs look better with painted insets.
