I'm thinking about painting my 17's like a midnight blue sort of color (since the factory clear is peeling on the wheels anyway)... but I want to know how it'll look on my civic before I go through the trouble of painting them... can someone with ps do a color change on my wheels please?

and this is the color blue I'm thinking of:

(sorry, it's the highest resolution pic I could find)


Thanks to anyone who decides to chop this for me

It's good enough to give me an idea of what the finished product will look like... thanks, dan.  I think I'll do them in blue.

And addiction, I'm not 100% sure I'm selling it anymore... I've been thinking about the driveability of a boosted rwd car in the winter, not to mention the problems an 18 year old car will have.  In the long run, I think just keeping my civic and swapping to a 5-speed (and maybe boosting it soon) would be better.  If I don't have a buyer by like wednesday, I'll probably just keep the ej1.

thanks, tbon3... I think I'm going to do it... the nice thing about the paint I'll be using is that from some angles, it looks black, but then head-on, it looks blue.  I think it'll turn out well... and if I don't like it, it's $20 to repaint them again 

thanks again

I'm not sure that would be enough blue... if it were a blue car, I'd agree with you... but with the car being black (and the dark shade of blue I'm using), a blue pinstripe wouldn't really even be noticeable.  Anyway, if I do boost the car, I'm going to paint the charge piping and the sides of the intercooler the same color blue to match.
