Photoshops inside ( wheels and tires )

Ok yet again i've gone some photoshops to see what would look good. I've been back and forth changing my mind on tires and wheels. I took the time to re-search specific tires and ignore the price tags a little to see what would best suit me. I fell for the Toyo M/Ts but cant bite the price tag just yet, and considering they wont be off road all the time and see a little highway, I like the long lasting life span they offer but it would be awhile for me to get them with everything else going on. I also went back to my original choice of Moto Metal 951s but not the chromes like I originally wanted.

So my plans, black Moto Metal 951s 18x9 +18 offset, and for tires, Cooper Discoverer STTs in 305/60/18. Its a 32.64" and 12.1" wide tire which will suit me fine enough, its a 33 to the eye and being a half inch thinner should rotate better down the road. And the best part, its priced right.

Heres my photoshops, kind of sloppy, but it was a tough project. I took the Moto Metal wheel shots from a random FX4 on here, and took the tire photos from a Toyota I found on google and tried increasing it to look the most realistic size.



And further down the road with bumpers and badges PTM, and smoked taillamps. Hopefully i'll look like this by this fall.


I never liked the black 951s because of the chrome on them, but I think my truck could actually pull them off. And if un-happy down the road I could get the chrome parts PTM black.

Anyways, feel free to tell me your opinions.

I think they look good, the back kinda looks like a 20 mph spare but hey its only photoshop! lol Definately think you need to paint the bumpers to go with a black wheel. Looks much better that way.

i always loved the 951's , not too fond of them in black with the chrome areas.

if i ever got them in black i would powder coat them flat black, that would look sick on your truck

I like the look of the second picture.

I think you should go with an all black wheel and the PTM bumpers. I am not sure why more companies are not offering an all black wheel today because there are a lot of people who would buy them.

lol yeah, I just couldn't get it any wider without it crossing over to the body. So that one will still look like a 255 lol.

Very true. I did try to PS the wheels all black and I didn't like the outcome, but then again it is a PS. Could look better in person. Without the chrome spots on the lip they look way smaller
