Default Which one to go with?? (PICS included)

So i just downloaded Photoshop and started playing around with it. As you can already tell, my photoshop skills are horrible so don't mind the bad quality.

Anyway, i really want to paint my stock wheels, and so far i can't decide between these 4 colors.

Bronze


Black with Red lip


Black painted in the inside only


Gun Metal (I couldn't find a clear pic of a gun metal stockie, so i used this one. I am pretty sure it would look better in person...)




The pic i used for my car is an old pic. Only noticeable changes i made on the exterior is the H-tech springs and Scion Evolution vinyls. Only reason why i used this old pic was because i don't have any good quality clear pic of my car other than that one.

Here's a bad quality pic of how my car looks today:



I thought the black with a red lip would look good and match with the SE vinyl pretty nicely. What do you guys think?

Ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

Time attack style with the black and red lip looks really good. Id personally go with that, a drop too and it would look great.

I don't think white will look good on the rs4.0. I will try to photoshop and take a look at it later.

Not many colors go well with the rs4 color =[

Painted black in the inside FTW! I think it makes your wheels look like 18s. Just want to let you know its a lot of work. Took me almost 3 days but it was worth it. If you were local I'd trade you mine.

haha...yeah, def. be prepared to spend 2 or 3 days on it to get it perfect....time consuming but def. worth it.

the reason it takes so long is because you have to tape off the face of the wheel, around all the curves and whatnot....where as if you were painting the wheel a solid color, you wouldn't have to tape anything off, just stick some index cards around the edges of the wheel, and spray away!

Bronze is my first choice, but black on the inside will make 'em look bigger like Drey said.

I am pretty sure its bronze and not gold.
And i am using the free trial lol (30 days free)...but u can always download it off limewire....just takes forever.

I guess what i will do is paint it black in the inside first. If i ever decide to change i can just paint the rest black and add a red line to it.

About the chrome accents on the body kit...i was thinking painting those black too to match the wheels...but i am not sure if it will look good, too afraid to risk it.

I think the black with red lip look good. They match the tails. But the gunmetal would work as well but do a chrome lip and chrome lugs to match the lip kit.
