Photoshop anyone?

So I really like these wheels (enkei wdm) and decided I would buy them for my next car even before I decided to buy an MCS. Now that I have the car when I try to imagine the wheels on the car I dont know if they would look all that great. Anyone good with photoshop? Or better yet, does anyone else already have these wheels on their Mini?

Yeah, I tried that. It helped a little, but seeing the real thing would be better.

Get a picture of your car so the wheels are at the same angle as the wheel photo.

I'm not a pro at photoshop but I know you can re-angle the car/wheels so that they match up...I believe it is a choice such as "render in 3D" and you can adjust the angle any way you want in much the same way as making a gradient.

You did a good job with what you were given, I was just babbling advice about how to make it easier in the future.

Thanks! Just as I suspected, I dont car for those wheels on a mini. Although it would certainly look a tad better if they were like 18's or something. Thanks again!

Thanks but not looking for kudos. I'm just glad my picture is showing up.
