Sorry, I don't know how to use Photoshop, so I can't help you with that. However, I can give you my opinion.

Personally, I think Gold is a little gaudy. I think a darker shade of Gunmetal would look nice on a Blue car. I am also not fond of lug nut covers, but that's just me.

There are a couple wheel sites that have simulators. If you want, I can post a link. With the simulator, you pick your car and color and see how a similar set of wheels would look. (on some simulators you can even adjust how the car body sit's on the wheels, like if it's lowered)

Btw, what did you paint them with Krylon? I can't imagine the paint would last too long. Once the paint starts to chip, it is going to really look like hell with Chrome underneath.

Too lazy to fix the backgrounds on them, but yeah, I would toss them too. Stock are much better:

theres a line between messing around and putting the kid down personally...

He didnt buy the wheels, he got them for free, so we are messing with him
no need to be like that.

hook a brotha up who is trying to get on 17" wheels and get off OEM 16"!!

btw, those wheels do look better in black
