Yeah, that site is kinda cool. I love the feature that lets you slam the hell out of the GS and change the body color to green

future,

the site allows for a quickie without bothering anyone. i'd hate to ask someone like yourself to spend a little time just for my reference. but that site doesn't work to well with rim sizes. i know my 18"s don't look nearly that big

um folks, the reason we have a photoshop forum is for exactly that purpose. It isn't a bother if you ask me to throw some rims on your car, i like doing it, hence me suggesting the photoshop forum. If i didn't enjoy doing it I wouldn't have asked for a photoshop forum. Don't be afraid to ask me to photoshop something.

Well... since you offered;

I wanna see a set of those teddy bear rims, sized to 23's, with 10 series profile tires on a lime green AMC Matador, completely slammed! Oh yeah, and can you add some purple fade flames and a set of side exiting exhaust pipes with dual square tips?

Just kidding by the way...

Hey future,

I am really excited to know that you are open to helping us with drop & wheel options via PhotoShop. I always figured that I was bugging if I asked for viusal mods. Thank goodness I know how to use PhotoShop a little bit and was able to drop my car w/ PS (note signature graphic).

Thanks again - good to know for future rim purchases!!

the people in the photoshop forum(including myself) love chopping cars, i.e adding rims and bodykits etc. I personaly think there is not enough traffic in the forum.I know alot of you out there would like to see some rim ideas or a kit or anything really, even 23" teddy bear rims on a POS car.So to all that think they are being bothersome by asking for a chop of their car, wipe that idea from your mind and just ask.Thats what it is there for!

Default Kudos, props, thanks, and compliments

Future - That's really neat that you offer to do a chop for anyone - I'm personally not after anything so I have no ulterior motives - just wanted to compliment you for such an open offer - that's what CL is all about. You're a good guy!

My .05 cents worth.

I have thought about doing a site like this, but the main problem is all of the wheels look very cheap. An HRE looks the same as a $2 Konig. This is why I instead opted to go with pictures of real cars with real wheels. I feel it's easier to see actual applications and mentally adapt to your own car. Maybe that's just me?

Very true Dennis...but it does give a ROUGH idea...at least you can see if the DESIGN of the wheel fits the look you want on the car...

$2 Konigs? Hehehe...you give them too much credit!
