How does my car look?

This is the first time I've ever photoshopped something. I love the way the Volk LE37Ks look so I dropped my car, put the wheels on, and fixed the purple tint. The tint is from the previous owner and it's waaaay too hot to get outside and strip it off.

Final pic:

I got the pic of the wheels from Y2KevSE's 5th gen:

I got the Photoshop lessons from this VWVortex post:

I haven't washed it in about a month so I know it's dirty. What do you guys think?

Re: How does my car look?

personally, i don't like the rims on the car. your tires look dirty with that color combo. that's just my opinion

try different rims, and you should lower your car for sure.

i think a wash/wax would do wonders. and i'm not a fan of black rims on black cars, but if the rims didn't have that polished lip, they would look better.

I think there is a lot to be said about a clean black car.

Not too keen on the black rims on a black car.
I think polished graphite or silver would look better.

My favorite wheels so far I've seen are Jay25'shttp://maxima.cardomain.com/id/jay26

I like the stealth fighter look. Throw in some carbon fiber... and you're golden.

I think that the black wheels on the black car look excellent, just not as good as black (or dark pewter) on a white car!

I thought that was real for a second, but thought about the difference in dirt on the car and then on the rims.
