I like the anthracite ones in the last pic. Make the calipers stand out.

Wow! I'm loving the last one, really suits the car. The brakes look ace behind anthracite. Thanks for that Bio, your a legend!
And I've been thinking of lowering the car, and the last pic looks wicked where you've dropped it a couple of inches!

Thanks,Mit

How do you do that on photo shop then? I've tried my damn hardest and i can't do it!
I can chop peoples heads off and stick them on other people easy enough, but colour changes baffle me!

Depends what colour you want to achieve. CTRL+U then colourize n play with the sliders is a good starting point. Tweak with levels, contrast/brightness for basic colour changing. Then u have selective colour, variations etc etc.

To change the right areas u want to change the colour for, I use layer masks and eraser to rub out what I don't want to be affected. e.g the wheel nuts, calipers, discs etc.

Ta, I'll give it a go.

Back on topic, I think anthracite looks the best.

White looks good. I've had a quote from Mobile Alloy Wheel Refurbishment and Mobile Alloy Wheel Repair - Welcome to Wicked Wheels for refurbing my wheels. £55+VAT each, painted in 2K and baked
