Default Poll for Wheels/Photoshop request

When the wagon wheels go, I'm thinking I want some C6 spiders. I want either competition grey or chrome. I would also consider the dark grey or chrome C5 Z06 speedlines as another option if I found a good deal on some.

Here are a couple pics of my car and links to the spiders. If anybody wants to flex their photoshop skills and add the spiders, I'd appreciate it. I will be tinting the windows, but otherwise, I don't expect to change anything else.

I'm definitely going to pick what I want, but I'm hoping to get some photoshop help to help make my decision. I'm really leaning towards spiders, but comp. grey or chrome is a real tossup, because I like both. Maybe I should do chrome on the passenger side and comp grey on the driver side

Thanks man. It helped, but it didn't, because they both look so good. I can't go wrong either way.

I'm just not a fan of black rims; only on a select few cars. I just don't think the wheels pop well enough when they're black. The comp grey though looks sweeeeeet.

I've looked at pics of other peoples' cars, and the more I look, the tougher it gets. It's also hard to beat the look of C5 Z06 wheels in argent or chrome, plus they are available in wider rims, whereas the spiders aren't as far as I know.

I was leaning towards the Spiders as well til I saw the C6 Z06 Deep Dish. Mine are the C5 Z06 sizes. I have had them on for about a week now and really like the look.

I know it's not red, but you can get the idea. Mine don't have the rivets in them.




Get what you want though or you won't be happy.

I wanted the 9.5/10.5 widths so I can run wider tires on them.

MSTROMQUIST, those also look nice. I really don't think I'll be disappointed with any of my options.

Contact House of Wheels. They should be able to get you the sizes you want.
