Photoshop Help Nascar 17's On My 69 Convertible?

[toofun]

Anyone feel like photoshoping some 17 inch NASCAR style black rims on my ride? I really like the look but dont know how it would look. The rim I am considering is a NASCAR style with red stripe around the rim with either an all black tire or black with yellow lettering. If someone could do this for me I would appreciate it. I know DarkBudda is usually the authority on this but dont know how busy he is at the moment. I have included a link to a bunch of side shots of my car below. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

Donk? Bubble maybe.

Who makes those in 16 or 17? Basset only does 15 as far as I know.

Actually I found someone that makes them in 17x8's on ebay at this link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NASCAR-Style-DAYTONA-17-rims-on-your-car-truck-van-SUV_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43957QQitemZ8040555 459QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

but not sure if they can make them to certain other sizes.

BTW what does "donk" mean?

[vanzuuk1]

Those are similar but not "true" nascar wheels. Probably american racing.

Just curious... I notice that it looks like you have black wheels on your car? Do you? I cant get a good look at it in your signature. Got a pic?

OK, cant seem to find anyone who makes a 17 inch NASCAR STYLE in a size that wont look too skinny for my car....STRIKE ONE. And even if I could find someone to custom make it, GOODYEAR doesnt make the raised yellow lettering tires anymore....STRIKE TWO. So ok I guess I could paint or dye the rubber lettering the color I want BUT They dont seem to make a tire with raised WHITE LETTERING above 15 inches....STRIKE THREE!!!

Anyone else seem to think their could be a HUGE market for 17 inch Nascar style custom rims and custom GOODYEAR 17 inch raised Yellow Lettering tires????

OPPS!! I hit "new thread" instead of reply!! If someone could move this to the reply section of my photoshop question I would appreciate it. SORRY for the screw up!!:drive1:

I had the same problem when I was looking for wheels. I wanted the steel in 17, but no one really makes them even though 17 is probably the most popular wheel size(for modern cars anyway). I went with the bassett 15s cause they were really light at 16lbs each and tires are a lot cheaper for a 15 inch wheel.

So do you really need a 17"? Why do you want 17? Note: That I run 15" wheels and was still able to fit Wilwood's 12.19" disk brakes all around.

But if you still want to go bigger. This place makes 16" wheels with many widths while keeping it light weight for lower unsprung rotational weight. If you care about that kind of thing.

That sounds like a good idea, Do you have a picture of the 15 inch wheels on your car? I would love to see them if you do.

Thanks

Well, running the bigger wheels will allow even bigger brake rotors, up to 14" in some cases, and will allow a greater choice of street rubber.

However, with that said, I agree that an excellent handling car can be created using only 15" wheels and I think you've proven that.

there's a few pics around. If you go to the Racing Events section you will see a thread about san diego autoX and in there I posted some pics.
