    What do you guys and gals think of color matched wheels? photoshop help please!!

    Okay its time to put away the snowboard and start on the truck again. I am rolling along well with the supercharger kit and the paint is almost done the design phase. But i am really liking the color matched wheel look. I am considering powdercoating the spokes on my 22s white to match the truck. The lip and center cap will still be crome so anyone with photoshop skills please help me out and chop this pic so i can get a better idea of what my wheels will look like. Also i would appreciate any feedback or opinions you all may have.





    Thanks

    I did just the back wheel for you to compare:



    I say don't do it. White doesn't have enough contrast to look good on a wheel paint.

    Maybe the opposite...chrome spokes with white rim/caps?

    .I like the white idea leaving the rim & cap chrome. I guess this would make sense,(in my world anyway) most of my cars in the Gran Tourismo games ride on painted wheels & a couple of previous real cars I've owned too.
    As always, nice job on the photo chop Transio.

    I do like it also, Morgan, btw is all powder coating "flat" or can it be made glossy?

    The powder i am going to use is a 92% high gloss so it will shine like the waxed car paint.
