Help with photoshop!, Rim ideas Options

[Slick]

Since i have to wait for my sideskirts to be sent to me from my procrastinating brother, i thought i'd get started on some other cosmetic tasks. I'm thinking about painting the spokes of my rims with gloss black paint. can someone please help me with some photoshop skills to see what it would look like? The idea is to have the spokes and the centr piece black, plus the area around the stainless steel studs. The studs and the lip would be the only things that would remain untouched. Thanks guys!

you mean like this

^^ Ooo! That actually looks pretty good! I was thinking a bit darker. Can you do that? Thanks!

So far, by the looks of it, I may actually go with painting it black.

dark enough

^^Exactly! Wow. This sure beats my crayon design.

What do you think? Is there just too much black on it? I may also leave the plastic bolts and the small center piece on the cover plate their original color also. Please let me know what you all think. I know that its all about what i want, but you know when i'm done painting them, i'll be posting them all over the forum! So if you don't like them, you better say so now.

To me i can't really tell if i like them or not. It would probably help if there was a little of the car in the picture that way i could see the car and the rims on the car.

You're right. Here's two shots of the whole car.

^^Thanks! I think they look good, at least different. I need a different look for when my extensions and raiser blocks are ready to be installed. I'll post the results. Thanks for your skills, Celica Power!
