Is anyone good with photoshop? Ive got a little project .. I have a side shot of a silver Astre and I need the honeycomb wheel sized and inserted into the tires on the Green vega picture and then the wheel and tire combo inserted onto the Astre same proportion and height as the Green Vega pic. anyone?
or if its easier just size and insert them over the wheels on the green vega pic.. That should let me see what It would look like.

I hacked a pic together and emailed it to you. Not really good, but you'll get the idea. Maybe someone else can do it nicely.

Thanks Bryan.. I like the honeycomb rims but a 17"er on an Astre might just look a little too funky...
From what Ive seen they look OK on a Firebird though..

That looks WAY better than the pic I did. I used to have photoshop, but it went with my old computer and I haven't gotten it again.

What about original Trans-Am 15" honeycombs?
Those with the Hankook Ventus RS-3 or Toyo Proxes R1R in 225/45/15 would look great and perform awesome ('kooks need some heat to get sticky, and Toyo work best cold)

The original GTO and Trans am Honeycomb rims were what they called polycast.. Its a steel rim with rubber molded onto it.. They are heavy and crack with age.. If you can find a good set of 15's they are almost as expensive as the new stuff.. Either way I just found out the new billet honeycombs only go as small as a 17x8.. Id need a 17x7 for the front.. No big hurry just cooking up concept ideas...
Could go with the snowflakes .. but would run into the same issue with weight and trying to find a 15x7 for the front
Or I also like the looks of these.. Centerline Sundance Meteor.. Id have to 16" but they come with custom backspacing and have 16x7 available for the fronts and then I could go 16x8's in the rear.. Maybe.. with a little persuasion.

Those look a little like Rocket brand launcher wheels. I want them for my car.
