Default Tutorial: Wheel Chop Using Photoshop

Mods maybe this tutorial should be stickied.

There's many of you guys that ask for wheel chops and some of you guys might have Photoshop so here's a tutorial for doing wheel chops. There are many ways to chop wheels, this is my way that i use to do wheel chop. I am using Photoshop CS.

Remember: The better and higher the resolution the better the outcome will be. For best results find cars that are at the same resolution and as close to the same angle as possible. Also, for best results, DO NOT use the same wheels for the front and rear. Use the front wheels for the front wheels and the rear wheels for the rear wheels.

Find Donor Wheels Pictures. The sites that i like to looks for images are google, flickr, and bing

This is the car that i will be doing the chop on. I will try to be as detailed as possible.
