Dave,

Here's one way you can do it.

Select the magic wand tool (set tolerance to about 30) and click on the spokes of the wheel, you will notice that not all of the wheel will be selected so you have to hold down shift while you click on the rest of the wheel. When you have the seelected area you want to chane colour go up to the menu and select image /adjustments / replace colour, then its just a matter of messing around with the setting in the dialog box to get the colour you want.

hope this helps :shock:

Great, now I know who to annoy with my PS queries ;)

Not the best job in the world, but these might give you some ideas:

I like the white alloys - but I guess I'm a little biased - suits your car better than my steel silver TBH. Black alloys a close second - both would give a nice race look - with your bodykit and extras like the intercooler and brembos etc you need a strong colour combination like black or white IMO - not silver, chrome or shadow chrome.
