My photoshopped 17" Olds wheels

[FE3X CLONE]

I still say to save your money for a little longer and get a set of the Intro wheels:

565bbchevy I have condidered those Centerlines but no dice. I seen pics ( very hard to find ) of the first one on a car and hated them and I was pretty high on them before seeing those pics too. Now the new Weld's seem pretty cool and I have and still am considering them. I'd want to paint the center spokes gold but I would want their black accents to just be polished aluminum. Will have to see if they would do that though. I'd really want to see pics of them on a car too, but haven't found any.

FE3X CLONE I have considered those wheels as well but I don't like wheels with a smooth lip ( do I got my terminology right? ). Smooth lip wheels just makes the spokes have to be longer and when you combined that with triangular shaped spokes you end up with the 'wagon wheel' effect or simply a look I'm not after. I want a stepped lip wheel which takes up more space.

If there is one thing I've learned about searching for wheels is that they may look great by themselves in the advertisement pics but that does NOT translate to how they will look at different angles, in the size you want, and on your car. I have drooled over wheels only to wince in horror after seeing them on a car....

Now if someone would get off their *ss and produce a nice 17"+ Olds SSIII, then my search would be over. Instead we get 10 different versions of a Magnum 500 wheel .

Gary Willard designed the billet SSIII wheels but needed 3 buyers to get the wheel company he was dealing with to run a set of them. Never could get those three buyers so the last I heard was he was trying to sell off the prototypes and designs.

OK so I was board and decided to play around with paint which I had no clue how to use so learned as I went. Since the 17" Billet Specialty Street Lite is a wheel I'm considering for my car, I wanted to see what it would look like when given the 442 treatment. Note the color is all wrong because I couldn't find a suitable match;

lookin good there 8)
