Default Is anyone good with photoshop? I need some help...

I have been toying with the idea of painting or powder coating the spoke portion of my Axis rims...I have tossed the following colors around:

GOLD
BRONZE
HYPER BLACK
HOT LAVA

I would appreciate it if someone who is good at photoshop to do each of these colors so I can see how it would look...Thank you...

Here are the (2) best side shots I have of my car...

Hot Lava:


Hyper Black:


Bronze:


Pic was a little small to work with but at least it will give you an idea. I would say Hyper Black type would look best. Are your rears sunken in or is it just the angle of the picture? If so, space those things out, front looks fairly flush. Hope that helps.

Wow, TRD thanks...That gives me a good idea of what each will look like...Now the hard part, which color do I go with As far as the rear being sunk in they are actually really pretty flush...I had to grind the inner fender lip down just to run them...Must be just the angle...Here is what it actually looks like from a different angle:

you're welcome. That's what I thought, I remember seeing pictures before that it looked better. Must have just been the angle. Only reason that I would not go with the Hot Lava would be so it doesn't get too "matchy matchy" or cliche but I'm sure it would look good. Good luck with the choice. I would say to double check how these rims are made (pressed lip, actual lip, etc) because the heat of powedercoating might ruin the lip or make it detach depending on how it is made. You might have to go with a professional auto painter. Your local powdercoater should be able to tell you.

p.s. interested to see that sweet car in the reflection...
