Attero Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) I'm pretty sure a lot of you are unfamiliar with my car. My car was previously owned by MRX here. It's an N/A manual and stock apart from the wheels. I plan on doing quite a lot to it within time however one thing that needs to be done (after paying off my MOT) is the looks of the thing. I've put some photoshop skills to the test and turned my car around into something that makes my car a little bit shameful right now. I'm wandering what you think... As it is now: http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/6584/newassitis.jpg As it is photoshopped: http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/8798/newrefined.jpg Black painted wheels Red Calipers Lowered suspension Facelift indicators Spotless Refined image on 3rd page: http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/7700/newrefined2.jpg Tinted Windows Active Spoiler Rectified photoshop fails Added shadow effect I've never been keen on black wheels. But they don't look half bad in my attempt to turn my car around here. 50 points to those who point out photoshop fails!

RobD Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Looks good the way it is mate, but looks stunning in the photo shop! I wish someone could teach me how to use it/ download it from! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Quick word of advice on the photoshop, when lowering a car, cut out the body of the car and the whole of the image above it, then paste it, then 'lower' the new image onto the lower image. I may have just confused myself there so I don't expect you to follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have just confused myself there so I don't expect you to follow No no, I understand. I should have tried that in the first place. It's just the body is tilted because 1, it's at an angle and 2, the back of a stock Supra always seems lower than the front anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Looks better. I actually like the original colour of your wheels, although the gold centre caps don't match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Looks better. I actually like the original colour of your wheels, although the gold centre caps don't match Thanks. What do you think I should change the centre caps to? I should be doing it this weekend. Same colour as the spokes or something else?

Yeah same colour as spokes, at least if you don't like it you can spray the lot black anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Nice photoshop and to be honest, you car looks great with either wheel. infact, I actually really like it with the original wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Yeah, the original wheel looks good, also, it's a better Photoshop than I could do so kudos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Personally don't like black wheels and polished rims, for me it would look much better with the complete wheel black including the rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing I don't like. I need seperation. Black wheels seem to look industrial and tacky to me (no offence to black wheel lovers). But if they are seperated by a polished rim, they look a hell of a lot cleaner in my opinion. I'm thinking perhaps a gunmetal wheel would be better. I prefer gunmetal to black.

Attero Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Your opinion is wrong http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/vbpgimage.php?do=full&p=17285&d=1272654848 http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u317/Thomson77/After1-1.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b261/RobSheffield/supra001.jpg Okay, I like the first and second one (especially the second - aren't they Advan RS?). I suppose it depends on the wheel. But I'd prefer them in gunmetal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attero Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 They are Weds SA-70 in black chrome. Ah yes! They were in my consideration list. Wasn't too sure on the colours you could have in the wheel lining though. They do look good and very close to Advan RS wheels. Are they 17s there?
