Does anyone have a picture of an orange Roadster as close to side-on as possible that I could use for a bit of photoshopping?

I'm looking at wheels and would like to see how they would look on a finished/almost finished car in a colour similar to what I'm going to use. The wheels come in a few different colours and I have no idea which would look best with orange paintwork.

That might work, cheers for that. If anyone has one that is even more side on I would still be interested incase my photoshopping friend can't get it right this one.

Incidentally, if Andy sees this thread, what's the colour code for that orange? That's pretty close to what I have in mind for my bodywork but metallic.

The choices are silver, black or a light gold and all have a chrome lip. I'm discounting the gold. I'm not sure if black wheels with a chrome lip on an orange car would be too much going on with the colours.





Those are 15" wheels but they also do them in 16".

I see what you mean, I am not sure I like them with the chrome rim. They would be spot on if they were all black though.

I think the black with the chrome lip and orange bodywork would work.The chrome lip would help break up the black rim/tyre combo.
