Default My first time.......................

working with photoshop.
Trying to decide if these are the rims I want. I figure I need something wild to go with my paint.
What do you think??
I would go with 17's.

No:mad on the PS job, OK?? We all start somewhere :) :lol: :)



These are the rims in question.

I knew one of the "experts" would jump on this.

That's "the look" I was going for.

Thanks,

They look sharp, see mine. I would go with 18's if I redid it. So far the widest you can run is 255/45/17's I wanted 275's but they rubbed when I went lock to lock.
