Could someone change the colour of the wheels to gunmetal grey or similar dark colour, looking to get a refurb fairly soon and not sure whether to stay the same colour or go darker.

IMO that's a big piece of work in Photoshop to make it look right, having taken an hour just to make one spoke look right on mine, I suspect you'd struggle to find anyone to do it for you without charging.

I'd suggest getting some cheap freeware software and pasting a scaled pic of the alloys you want over yours

By the way, let me know if you are ever selling these wheels.

I love it when reverse psychology works. Didn't think it would be that quick

Easy really. Just copy the wheels onto a different layer. Then roughly erase out the detail behind the spokes. Then play with the layer controls of colour, contrast etc..
Would take a professional PS user about 5 minutes. (Took me 30).

Well done. Put a note into the styling thread, you'll likely get quite a few people asking for previews of different wheels on their cars.

Top job on the pic, i quite like them in that colour think it shows off the colour of the car better, shan't be selling the wheels just refurbing them.

Cheers again.

Don't erase the detail behind the wheels, use a layer mask it's much more accurate and if you make a mistake u can paint back the error n redo it

I'm no pro but well known I think on here for shops, this usually takes me 10mins tops.
