Photo shop and opinions

Looking for someone to photo shop my fuchs rims. They are color matched however I'm debating on a color change. Black, Charcole gray or polished with the black back ground.

Opinions anyone?

Take off the bra and remove the door bump guards. Paint the rims black and keep the lip polished.

The bra will come off when I get a new air dam. It's holding my side marker in. lol. Plus, Im going to do a front bumper pad delete. The door gaurds are off. I have a rear valance that is going on the car. I have a windshield banner in mat black on the car.

i like the bra - it hides that hideous bumper (i hate visible bumpers that aren't chrome)

i am torn on the door guards - i have them on the white car, and like them - VERY effective - i don't have them on the blue car, and like that one that way

i would go silver on the spokes and black on the webs

I like it the way it is - sans bra, though.

Does anyone have photos to compare the door guard vs sans door guard? Mine need replaced and I am about to repaint Copenhagen Blue. I hadn't thought of removal, thats one less thing to spend money on.

OK, I started reading at the end of the thread but sans bra is always best option, and indeed worthless without pics.

Save the TaTa's!

for your consideration, I just finished up my exterior restoration today and my wheels might help with your decision one way or another. Crummy phone pics but I plan on taking better ones this weekend. I opted on the stripes a while ago but for grins decided to match the rear valence and wheel centers to them. So the wheels are close to what you might be considering....
