Need Photoshop Help with Wheels

I have zero photoshop knowledge.
Could someone color the wheels on the picture below?
I would like the center 5-spokes to be black and the outer rim to be red.
Saw that combo in another color and thought it was interesting.
Thanks!

Consider anthracite (??) grey or similar...If you get a chance look at an early Z06 vette that is red, many came with grey wheels that were not too dark. I always thought it looked like a sharp combo.

For me the two color wheels border on what some call rice...I know you did not ask for an opninon.

FWIW It looks great with silver but I know the urge to change up the look...how about some "Carrera" stickers on the side :-)

Thank you!
That looks really different, I actually like it. What I am after is a way to tone down the car and add a more sinister look. I don't like the looks of all black wheels becaus you loose the tire in it all, just looks like a big black hole.

Dark grey sounds interesting, can you photoshop the Z06 look?
If it looks rice tell me so. My wife has to tell me my shirt doesn't match my pants all the time. Apparently I need the help.

I think you found your magic combo, that looks pretty darn sweet. FWIW, I agree w/elombard...those rims and a Carrera sticker on the side would really jazz it up without making it look ricer.

Wow, I think it is looks right on that car Brian. I think either way, black or dark grey, you will not go wrong. Guess you will have to ask your wife...

Just a thought, but what about a dark grey or black CF hood. I think it would look pretty hot with the wheels like you are considering. And on your car, the form is definitely following the function!

I saw the black/red combo on a different type of car and thought it might look good on mine.
There is no plans for any side graphics or CF hood as this car is blingy enough.
I have yet to find a set of wheels on this car that I like and after 3 sets it's getting a bit aggravating. So photoshop is now my friend; thank you very much EP.
