Default My new 18's (now w/tutorial)

I've had my XB for 4 months, but just got these mounted today. This forum has been great for my research - knowing which sizes to consider - thanks to everyone for posting their pics and wheel specs. This is the only mod I've done. No lowering, aero, etc.

215/35/18 's on
SPORT MAX Racing 504 VIP-style (found on ebay)
Finish: Black with polished face and Polished Stainless Steel 3" Lip
Offset: +32 mm

What do you think?
- Chris

Thanks! There are a few steps and there's probably other ways to do it. For you Photoshop guys here's how I did it:
1. punch up contrast
2. duplicate layer, remove all color saturation (make this layer b/w)
4. reduce opacity on this layer to around 40%
5. duplicate layer
6. Filter/Gaussian blur
7. reduce opacity to about 50%
8. using the eraser with a large, soft brush, erase the parts of the image that are in the foreground
9. add layer and airbrush the edges using black
10. reduce opacity about 50%






Here you go hapemix!
