Getting creative with Wheels and Photoshop

Hopefully there's no copyright issues, lol. After looking for some wheels for my 84', realizing that I can't seem to find a good set of originals, I thought perhaps I would go aftermarket and spruce it up a little, but trying not to stray far from the original look. So this is what I came up with. First pic is what the wheel looked like, and the second is my custom handy work.

The wheel looks a lot like the original Hurst wheel so it's a natural fit to have then on a Olds. The wheels have been out for at least a year as I sean them on a 68 buick at a show last year.They were also on Olds power over a year ago that's how I found out about them. Very cool wheel.

Thats what I liked about these is that they kind of looked like the original 60s style Hurst wheel. Now do I dare paint the center spokes silver like my Hurst wheels? lol. But to answer isutigers93 these are Cragar 500C- Eliminator wheels
