Title: Photoshop request
Post by: PenguinGTI on 06 October 2011, 17:40

Hi guys, I may have posted this in the wrong section. I remember seeing a few of these a while back and can't remember what section of the forum they were in. Apologies if this is the wrong bit.

Anyway, I'm looking for a colour change on a set of alloy wheels.

I'd like the wheels to be gold. Ideally as close to the gold shown on these wheels.

Now Edited with better pic of wheels.

Thanks, will keep a note of them. Still trying to find out how well the Gold will go with the white though.

Thanks shep.

Hate to be a pain but can you make them a bit less yellow. The Gold on the Cades Rims has perhaps a tinge of bronze to it and it is that tinge that should hopefully compliment the warmth in the slightly off-white paintwork.

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of options in terms of aftermarket wheels. The combination of the MINI fitment, the clearance in the wheel arch, my preference not to go bigger than 17 inch plus the requirement to clear my Brembo brakes set up means there's not a lot out there that I can look at.  :sad:
