Default tirerack.com and my civic

I am trying to use tirerack.com interactive virtual wheel search to see what wheels look good on my civic. Accroding to the sticker on my car and the service manual my car is Opal Green, but on tirerack.com their "opal green" is much darker than that of my car, yes I should contact them about it but am I in the right here or have a made a mistake?

Also, what are some other good sites that offer this intereactive thing that lets you see how the wheels will look on the car? I like this alot, it really helps makes thing simple like I'd like them to be.

I also have a few questions about purchasing tire & wheel packages online.

How do they ship the stuff?
Is the shipping outrageously expensive?
Is it even a good idea to do so?

Let me know guys, thanks!

BTW, in my avatar is a picture of my civic, as well as here:

how is photoshop going to help me? Even if I did take the darker opal green and make it light like mine it would take quite a bit of work to fixup a custom page that uses their wheel database/collection against my car image. I know webdesign, believe me.

Also, what do you mean by "light" performance wheels? As in weight or not so-sporty performance?

buying online isnt bad at all. they ship the wheels and tires pretty well. wrapped up nicely so they dont get damaged

sometimes u can find places with free shipping.
