New Hubcaps Photoshop Request

[H8SGAS]

So thanks to Chris07LB's great FAQ and C2AUTOSPL's great product I now have a non 4x4ing Yaris. However the hubcaps I bought for "Non Rim Season" are not really doing it for me. The return policy sucks so I'm thinking of painting them black (they are stainless steel.) I was hoping somebody with some photoshop skills could give me an idea of what it may look like.

This is my first time posting a picture in a forum so sorry if I screw it up I'll inlcude a link too this time just in case. If I get an X feedback is appreciated :clap: http://www.imagestation.com/8354615/3976040076

[ChinoCharles]

Haha, and I thought PANIC! at the Disco was a guilty pleasure.

I love those rims! I don't know why... everything in my being says hate them but I can't. I've never seen rims like that on a car, and in this day and age unique is hard to find.

Here are some ideas...

BLACK
1447

GREY
1448

DARK RED
1449

CHRIS CUSTOM
1450

GHOSTED YING YANG
1451

SPIN THE BOTTLE
1453

[vodkalush]

I think the red looks freaking hot (matches your rear lights), i like contrast.
Although I think gray looks sleaker.

[dngz]

airbrush it to look like this

[vodkalush]

However the hubcaps I bought for "Non Rim Season" are not really doing it for me.

off-season.

btw nice airbrush

[H8SGAS]

Wow thanks for all the options! Did I do the picture right or did everyone have to use the link? The airbrush is sweet kinda like what I plan to snag for the "regular season" :biggrin: The Ying Yang really pops and I'd consider rocking it but not with my level of paint skills, I'd have to bring them to a vinyl graphic shop or something for that and I dunno if the cost would be worthwhile. Maybe I'll do black with a two inch silver line through the center since I really like the break in contrast. Or black with "Yaris World" vinyl lettering through the circumference :thumbup:

The springs are DF210s I installed them yesterday it took a little over 4 hours, yup I'm slow. I LOVE working on my own car but, I need to use guidance like the FAQ’s and instructions unlike those of yall who just "know." I’m really happy with the results though. Furthermore I was able to rent a torque wrench from Pepboys and the spring compressor from Advance so it was totally free to do!

[ChinoCharles]

You didn't do the image right... make sure you are in advanced mode and click the paper clip, it will take you to the attatchment manager. The wonderful admins here have a robust bulletin and allow us to upload images to their site, so you actually store the pictures on YW's server space. Then just click the paper clip again to insert an image.

I was just kidding about the ying yangs... for the love of god please don't do anything like that, haha. I actually have to agree with vodkalush, the red is neat. Its your car though... I'm glad I could inspire you haha. :cool:

[H8SGAS]

Ahhh like this? 1461

I was trying the website method, thanks for the info!

[SimmZ]

These full hubcap are ugly! :barf:

[Chris07LB]

You can thank me for the How_To by selling me them ASAP!!!! :drool:

[Chris07LB]

Charles, Pshop those bad boys in WHITE for me on my car.. :wub:

[ChinoCharles]

I had to use riceboy's car for a proper profile but you'll get the idea.

[ketel0ne]

My racing discs are on the way as well. Wonder what they would look like in Blazing Blue........

[Hawaiian Bluzman]

Had the same a set of covers when I drove a 89 Dodge Colt Hatchback painted it white to match the car and it did look really good! Got remarks like looks like paperplates!

[H8SGAS]

Well I do appreciate the FAQ Chris, but with the hubcaps being brand new and the fact that Stainless Steel is going to be expensive to ship I don't think we could come to a price that would be fair to you for buying something "used." They do look the best so far in white on a white car though! I think I am going to try something with painting them, currently thinking black with a thin silver circle around the perimeter. Here is the link to where I purchased them though.

However sounds like you could save the $85 bucks and go hit the grocery store for some "Dixie Plates!" :biggrin:

:frown: I guess ill have to go new then... :tongue:

Can you at least comment on the fit? Are they good and tight? Look just as good up close? TIA!

[H8SGAS]

Sure thing Chris, it is dark now though, I'll pop them back on tomorrow and get you some close-ups (back to stock for now.) As far as fit there are about 60 retaining clips around the edge. As shipped they go on and more concerning off way to easy. I'll be taking the pliers and bending each one back for that nice tight fit once I paint them and decide to leave them on. I experimented with one and the fit was great just bending a few millimeters, needed to use the paint top wedge to get it off.

KetelOne that price is way better, even once shipping is figured in. I feel screwed!! I even checked around, but obviously not enough. I wonder if there is any difference that will alleviate my pain! :mad:

[ketel0ne]

When mine come I'll let you know, I am expecting that they are not the same as the ones you got. But who knows.

[H8SGAS]

Here ya go! I have not bent the retaining clips back on this one yet, when done the gap is a bit smaller.

[vodkalush]

[Chris07LB]

:bow:

[vodkalush]

(the hub angle's are a lil off..)

[ketel0ne]

No $30 for all 4.

[Chris07LB]

No $30 for all 4.

Awesome pshop, do you think you can do one with one of the pics from the last page? In polar white please? :thumbup: :clap:

[nsmitchell]

Those hubcaps are slick! Literally! Kinda "Mad Max" looking... They look like the classic Moon hubcaps. http://www.hubcapmike.com/bhc01-15.html

I would have snapped those babys on instead of buying my alloys in a heartbeat. What do they do for mileage? For $30 for 4, that is the deal of the century! My alloys have been upstaged by hubcaps!!:cry:

I don't have anything concrete on mpg, I changed to synthetic oil and changed these as well. Also made more air pressure adjustments this week. I think these may even be lighter than the plastic ones. Don't quote me on that though.

[vodkalush]

sorry chris07lb ended up getting a service call and being out for the afternoon.*

and for some reason I seem to do better chops after a few drinks... so I'll up some pics a bit later...

[Chris07LB]

crazy day here as well.. no problem. :smile: :drinking:

[vodkalush]

here are some quick ones..

bottom ones sucks, so oh well..*

[ketel0ne]

Thanks for doing mine too, I think it just convinced me to leave them stainless.

[rstb88]

could you do a ps with the stainless on a meteoric silver...

[vodkalush]

hope this helps....


(depending on lighting (see above post - 1st on the page) the caps will prob be a bit brighter then what they look like below.... i tried getting the light right, but i'm a bit rusty in the chopping)

[vodkalush]

thanks to my fellow rochestarian*H8SGAS for finding these hubs and posting them on the site

[H8SGAS]

Sure thing, though they didn't stir me as I envisioned I'm glad others will enjoy them. Hopefully I’m just as pleased when I get around to painting mine!:biggrin:

[rstb88]

that made me realize. nope don't want 'em. still looks good on ya'lls cars.

[vodkalush]

that made me realize. nope don't want 'em. still looks good on ya'lls cars.

I agree, I think i'd be a bit too "metalic" for your car...

[ChinoCharles]

I'd get them if they were black.

[xfatefailsx07]

:headbang: They are very unique..:thumbup: to all of you guys...

...though they look a bit like they belong on a new 2008 concept yaris

[Fred2006]

Sorry but before buying this i would let the black rims!!! There is no word...Defenitely not my style!!! :barf:

[Chris07LB]

Just when I wanted a set, I see they no longer have them listed on the site in 15" fittments. :cry:

[ChinoCharles]

Man, I forgot all about these! They'll be perfect for my crap 14's.

Ordered. :biggrin:

[redyaris]

Yeah, the site doesn't show jack now...anyone have a cheap source for these?????? $30 rules!

[Chris07LB]

Their customer service sucks too... no mention if they will ever carry them again.

[vodkalush]

i believe they have an ebay store...

[ChinoCharles]

Well lets just hope my freekin caps get here. I cant wait... I'm bored with the hubbie look.

[Chris07LB]

i believe they have an ebay store...

They dont have 15" fittment. They dont know if they will again.

[ChinoCharles]

Haha...

3895

.... hahahahaha.....


...... HAHAHAHAHA... HAHA!!!... IOHFODHAF*A()HF

:bellyroll: :bellyroll: :bellyroll:

Funniest thing ever. They'll be perfect for winter... I'll just wrap the stockies in some snow tires and hang onto them when rim time comes. HILARIOUS! They'll look great black!

[YarisPR]

They sure look damn ugly.... but really funny :biggrin:
Now you guys have a "Yaris SoapBox Racing Edition"
:biggrin: :tongue: :laugh:

[ChinoCharles]

I can say for sure I have never seen these on a car in my life. I can also say for sure that I hate them, but I'm anxious to see them powder coated. I think it will go with the rest of what I'm doing.

[Chris07LB]

stay tuned then..

[jdubau55]

I was thinking of just ditching the hubs but getting just like a stainless ring type hub. To give it a machined lip look on the factory hubs. At least give it a lil character.

[Chris07LB]

They have them as well. $16 if I remember for all four.

[jdubau55]

Nice. Maybe paint them white....give me that old school white wall gangster look...

[eTiMaGo]

Naaah... Yellow... with a classic mr smiley face on each :laugh:

[jdubau55]

Im thinking white with a red spiral. Give it that hypnotism effect.

[Black Yaris]

Herd one of them flyin saucers you got on your wheels flew off on it's own and almost hit Mark's car today there Chino

[Vervepipes]

the red on all black car is awesome! it's like a retro-modern ratrod of sorts

[Chris07LB]

WARNING be sure to bend all the tabs back on each hub cap before install. They need to be SUPER tight when installed, with no play at all!

One of them bastards tried racing me home this morning.. :bellyroll:

[ChinoCharles]

Yeah, I lost a hubcap yesterday among other things. Yesterday was DEFINITELY "one of those days."

[Nutzoids]

[ChinoCharles]
