PS Help! Rim painting

I need help from someone that is good at photoshop...

I want to paint my rims again and want to see how they might look... I want the lip to be the same color as my car and the actual rim to be glossy black...

I'm trying to do different ideas but suck at photoshop... I was thinking of completly blacking out the rims in gloss but want to be different thats why I'm thinking of painting the lip the same color as my car...

Can anyone help???

Thanks... I just have this mod bug itching.. I can't help it!!! LOL My brother popped one of my tires and had my car towed to SEARS... Well the techs there ended up scratching two of my rims when he decided it would be a smart idea to shove rims ontop of eachother into the trunk infront of me lol...

So their paying to repaint those two rims so I'm thinking of maybe painting the other two myself and changing it up but I'm just debating on which color combo to take or if I should just leave them be... I don't want to just black them out because everyone has black rims. Although I want to go with a glossy look better then the flat look...

Here are some pics in the sun, before the hamann lip, rear spoiler and two toned emblems throughout the car...







heres a pic with my two tone emblems

Sorry. I can't buy into this one. That flat color you have going on is too nice. It matches your car color perfectly. I would keep it like that and maybe spend some dough on having your headlights done by someone or m3 rep skirts. Complete the mean look.

That's what everyone keeps telling me...

What do u mean have my headlights done? N I really want to get a rear diffuser but I can't find any for the single exhaust... I'm also debating on wrapping my roof black... And want to dip my hamann exhaust tips on flat black... That's the only chrome thing left on my car
