PS: 2008 SS/TC wheels enlargened by 106.4%, look better then stock?

Here is a pretty simple photochop I did, I simply took the original wheels and tires and made them 106.4% larger, from the ground up. This explains why it appears as though the car is lower, infact it is not. The wheels and tires are just bigger and filling up more of the wheel wells. The equivalent wheel size is 19" and the equivalent tire size would be about 235/40/19. Let me know your thoughts, I am very fluent with photoshop, so tell me what else you think I should try with my car in PS. I might tint the windows or lower it.. not sure. Thanks!

Before on top, After on bottom:

Sexy! Tint the windows, give it black housing headlights, and black out the bowtie and I think it would look perfect. Have you tried it with the wheels black at that size?

Gunmetal chrome wheels + 19" wheel and tire mod + window tint

I decided that I love the SS/TC wheels in this color (gunmetal chrome)...I think I would seriously like to do it to mine. I seem to prefer it to the black that most people are doing these days. What does everybody else think?

Gunmetal chrome looks good, 19" wheels do NOT.

i agree mostly on the 19 inch wheels not looking good on the car, with one exception, and that is if you increase the tire size by keeping a 40 series sidewall. This would not work, for obvious reasons, but this is a photoshop thread, so anything is possible Putting that aside, I was only making some speculations. I do love the gunmetal chrome, and want to shop around some nearby powdercoat shops to see if they could replicate this look.

Gunmetal ss/tc wheels looks amazing. I have been wanting to do it to mine for a while now. Would you by chance want to ps a pic of mine with gunmetal wheels?

Yes, but look at the picture with the gunmetal wheels, below the side skirt notice how you see less of the lightly lit 'road' between the shadow of the car and the car itself. Now look at the same place in the non modded picture, you see more light grey non-shadowed area. It was only intended to be a very subtle lowering anyway, perhaps an inch in real life.
