Default I need some photoshop help with a Z06

I'm deciding between two Z06s. One black and the other Laguna Blue. I have a set of wheels that I want to put on it. I know they will look good on the black car but I need to see how they'll look on the blue one. Any photoshop experts on here that can give me a hand? I want the wheels on the lexus to be put on the Z06. Thanks in advance.

Is the laguna blue a 2015 or 2016?

Lexus bolt pattern is 5x114.3, corvette is 5x120. You will have re-drill the bolt patterns, not safe. May not clear Z07 calipers, if you get a Z07. Then lastly, you will need correct width and offsets to look right.

You are going go spend more money to get them to work vs buying brand new ones.

If someone wants to Photo shop the 2017 Z06 Black Rose metallic, I'd sure be grateful!!

I already have a set of 360 Forged wheels for the Z06. I just want to see if I got the centers that color how it would look on the vette. I don't want to litteraly take the wheels from the lexus and put them on the vette. I just want those wheels photoshopped on the vette to see how the color looks.

You may want to post to the retouching forum on Dpreview.com. There are some incredible retouchers on that forum.

I may make an attempt this weekend if you don't get a response by then. I'm iut of town until then so can't access photoshop until I get back home.

Two thoughts:

1st: God, please no.
2nd: It's PhotoShop, not the Staples Easy button.

1. I think it might look good. Although,I guess I could just go with black or chrome and REALLY standout.

2. I'm not sure I understand your second point.

I check that forum on a regular basis too. Post results back here if you get something. If I don't see something, I will make a quick attempt this weekend to swap the wheels and swap the colors to black metallic rose

Don't think you really need to photoshop.... there are some great wheel configurators out there.

Savini and forgiato off the top of my head... they let you load your car/color and choose from any of their wheel models in any color combo you want.
I have used the savini site before just to get an idea of the look even though I wasn't buying their wheels.

That should help you out.
Cheers

Thanks, that worked pretty good. The blue wasn't exactly the same but it gave me an idea. Red wheels definitely look better on a black car.

surely! we're all here for each other!

I would agree... red wheels on a black car with red interior and red calipers would be pretty cool

However, red wheels on a blue car would not be what most people would say is "awesome" but i subscribe to the 'each their own' policy...so do what you like! :0
