At first I placed this thread at Wheels&Tires, but i figure it was the wrong place... So here it goes now:

I am having problems figurerin out what to do with the disc brakes I tried leaving the original wheel and I tried painting it dark gray... none looked nice...

First of all, I don't know photoshop, it took me almost 1hr to do this crappy picture here:




And this was the orignal picture, with original wheel and blanked off rear wheel:





Any tips on how to make this look real? Thanks in advance!

 

And just in case someone wants to show off and give me a hand, these are the pictures of the wheels I want to photoshop:

 

this was real quick


If you take that grey circle off, that would help. Or find a picture with these wheels mounted on another car

 

If if take the grey circle off, the rear will just look like the front, because thats the original wheel in the picture.

The whole problem is figuring out what to do with the disc brakes. And I tried looking for pictures of the wheels mounted on another car, but usually the pictures are not straight frontal shots, and the wheels are on a side view

 

I'm not sure what you mean, by "figuring out what to do with the disc brakes"

 

I had some free time on my hands so here you go


I never photoshoped wheels onto cars before, but I think this is fairly decent.

 

and here is a bonus picture of all the wheels on at the same time + deer inside

 

I'm saying go with the bonus option.

I can photoshop a couple of them for you if you still want. Although what I do is match up the new rim to the old one so that there is the most overlap with the old rims. then i fill in the missing pieces of the brakes or whatever else is behind the wheel then go with it.

 

look at my phothsop and you'll see what I mean: i tried blanking off behind the wheels and it didnt look good (rear wheel on first pic) and I also tried leaving the original wheel behind the new wheel, and it also didnt look nice (front wheel, 1st pic)


What I mean is that I dunno how to draw (or whatever I have to do) to make this look real with regards to the disc brakes.

 

This looks great man! How did you draw/copy/inserted disc brakes in it?

 

I think this looks better. I went to the BBK picture thread http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=366623
in the advanced performance forum and found some good examples. Anyway here ya go:

 

I snagged the pictures from BlackBIRDVQ (1st pic) & BIGMAX19 (2nd pic), so I wanted to give them credit

 

Nice work man! Thats exactly what I wanted! Damn, that was actually pretty slick.. I shoud've thought about that: just photoshop the disk brakes from another picture instead of trying to draw it!!


Damn man!! I cant wait to try it at home!!!






It looks AWESOME MAN!! (well... u couldve actually done front and rear, but i got the idea)


Thanks!!

 

Just a quick job in FIREWORKS

 

Butt ugly car.

 

Came all the way here just to pos that?

Funny thing is, you seem to have one very much alike

 

Dude... this is like PRO work! I have no idea what you did, or which program this Firework thing is... But do me a HUGE favor: please JPG the same car but WITHOUT any wheels, just the thingie on the background (supposedly the disc brakes) so that I can quickly swap different wheels in photoshop!

Thanks man!

 

Fireworks is a program made by Macromedia (Now Adobe) that is usually used for photo aid for web designers.



I just cut out the white area in the rims you've provided and feathered the edge by 3px, slapped them on, over the black circle (Having the lip Cover the edge of the circle) Adjusted the brightness and contrast and that was it. Oh, and my obviously fake shine spots

Hope it works out for you.

 

Actually I did come all the way here to post that...

btw that is my car lol.

 

I hope you don't mind us choppin up your car like that! I thought it belonged to the OP!

 

Its cool. It doesn't look like that anymore anyways.

 

I actually suspected that! And yes... butt ugly car!!

I have the same as well!!

 

Thats exactly it bro... thanks a ton! Obvisously i wont be able to get the same results u did (love the shine spots!) but at least I can compile a list of possible wheels to buy...



Thanks all for the help, i appreciate!

Problem solved? But it is a nice car...
