THANKS!

not to bad :-)

here's my try. i don't know if the polished look is right, but this was a quickie

didn't make it orange enough and forgot to fix rear roundel, but i figured this is just to get a feel, not like a poster...

how did you do the polishedlook

my way's pretty ghetto since i'm only on elements, but i make the lip it's own layer, then use the burn tool on it. it makes the darks look darker and the lights lighter without it looking contrasty or sumthin. i then fool around with contrast and lightness on the lip layer to make it look about right

not sure why burning makes it look polished. fooling around ftw

gotta love cs2
the rears are darker cause i dont know how gold you want it

thanks guys! looks like that color is something that needs to be on a spoke style wheel rather then a fuller faced wheel.
