Default Help for a friend..

Hey everyone,

I need some help for a friend. He has a G8 and getting new wheels for it. He is debating on either painting the wheels to match or another route like paint the wheel well same color spokes different. I hoping there is a Photoshop master on here and can help me out with this!

I don't understand your post.

You friend want to paint his wheel to match? To match what? The car?

If that's the case, do us all a favor and punch him in the dick. It's not cool when Lambos do it, and it's most certainly not cool when Pontiac's do it either.


Joking aside, you're going to have to clarify on the colors he wants before anyone is going to be able to assist you.

^^^^HAHAHA^^^^

That's essentially what I told him as well but he is set on thinking it'll look cool. But yes, he wants his wheels to match the color of the car. I told him other ideas which he's considering but he still for some reason wants to see what it'll look like matched to his car...

My true opinion, he needs to get a real car or get a ricer if he wants to destroy it like that haha.

wtf, if it's a v6 that's justified, but if it has the 6.0 or 6.2 you crazy. Better than typical chevy build quality, right wheel drive, v8, 4 door, what's not to like?

Eh, it has nice numbers on paper but I would still take any import over American muscle any day. They just don't appeal to me... Idk, just few other cars out there I would much rather have than that.

Kept up perfect with my buddy's old Ram SRT-10 too. My friend used to have one. He said all he did was flashed the ECU and it got like 20 or 30 more hp out of it too.

I'm with Feezy. If I was at home, I would just photoshop a bag of dicks in place of his wheels so he could see what it looked like. Because that's what it'll look like.
Also, from a Photoshopper's perspective; those pictures are horrible to work with. The lighting on the first two pictures is terrible and would make color-matching a nightmare.
If he's as dead-set as you say he is, give him this option:



Leave the faces a 'normal' color, and then he can do the sides the car color. That wouldn't be so obnoxious.

Hahaha "Bag of dicks" lol... And yes I realize how horrible the pics are, but he is driving a G8 soo... lol

I do like that idea pic you sent, very similar to the ideas I threw at him. I'll send him that pic so he can get an idea what that would look like with his car. Thanks again guys, except Feezy lol jk. Hopefully see you all soon!!
