Can someone help me photoshop my wheel color to match the bumper color? I have photoshop but dont' know how. Which tool or technique would you use? Thanks.

I think this is what the oem wheels would look like if they were 20s.

You mean like this?.... here you go ;)

We got the same rims! I was never a fan of dark rims, but once it was rainning here non-stop for a week, and my rims were all dirty and covered by brake dust.... and made them look brush dark metal.. looks kinda cool and I've been thinking painting them dark grey ever since!

BTW, don't think they make those in 20"?!

Thanks! Do you mind sharing how you did that in photoshop? Which tool did you use? Same here, my wheels got hella dirty and they actually look pretty good, sporty. Yeah, they don't make those rims in 20s. I was just trying to see what 20s would look like on the car. I'm going to need new tires soon so I was thinking about getting new wheels or powder coating the existing one for a new look. Right now I'm leaning towards just getting the H&R springs and powder coating the oem wheels.

I'm no photoshop expert and most probably there are better ways to do better job... but here's how I do it:

1 - MAGNETIC LASSO TOOL- click once on any point of the rim and go around it slowly, it'll automaticly mark a point on the "Edges.
2 - COPY & PASTE
3 - make sure you paste it as a NEW LAYER, so that you can Swtich it ON & OFF (by clicking on the "Eye") to compaire the difference easily
4 - HUE & SATUATION - under Image -> Adjustments
5 - I bring down the SATURATION all the way (-100) to take out all color information; and turn down the LIGHTNESS
(you can play around with "BRIGHTNESS / CONTRAST" as well)

Good luck.

The dark color looks good, but it would look even better on a different style of wheel.
