Dark anthracite looks nice...

WOW Andrew, That looks a million times better, :notworthy: You didn't do that with MS Paint now did you? I would love to know how to do what you did there.

Haha, no, MS Paint was not featured!
I basically used the pen tool (in Photoshop) to create a selection of the parts of the wheel that we want to change colour, so the rim and spokes. I then duplicated this shape into a new layer (so as not to destroy the originals) and then just played with the levels to decrease the brightness but ensure I don't loose any of the reflections (white areas).

^^^well thats gone way over my head mate :ashamed: I will learn how to do it one day. Thanks again for your work bud.
matsu:
the anthracite looks sweet cos there needs to be a difference between the car and wheels imo.
its the reason in my mind why high silver looks good on black/red/grey..but not on reflex silver.
but that thought process doesnt work on black car and greeners car proes it.
go with anthracite or black mate.... its aggressive :evilgrin:
ill shut the door on me way out lol..... :booty:

IMHO anthracite is something "between"...if you know what I mean.
Leave them hypersilver or go for blacks...
Something like this...
