N0Chill 335i Photoshop Help

Howdy, I'm debating a wheel color change and I'm not proficient enough with Photoshop to edit the pictures myself. Can anyone help me out by doing some color changes for my wheels on the pics below? I'm torn between black chrome and copper. I also don't know whether I want to do to just the faces or the lips and faces together.







I don't know which style pic would work best so I included a few options. Any help would greatly appreciated. Also debating the idea of a simple brushed aluminum... but that would be the last option of the 3.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Did a little editing in Lightroom and removed all of the green from the pics. I think this is a pretty good idea of what the Black Chrome would look like. I really like it...





Now if I could just get some help with the copper faces, I'd be able to make a final decision. Going on vacation at the end of the month and looking to change the face color then while I'm out of town.

That black definitely looks 100! perhaps black chrome lips and satin anodized faces would look great

Gonna drop them off some time this week to get them done. Trying to find a black that looks like this is hard. I saw black chrome in person and it was not nearly this dark. Looking at gray and shaded blacks with a high gloss finish now.

I'm still debating, but I'm definitely going to leave the lips as is. I'm probably going to sell them right after I change the color. I need something muted and user friendly. Most guys are already scared to run wheels as aggressive as these, much less in crazy color combinations. So it's either gonna be a standard black face or a brushed aluminum. We'll see how it plays out.

For the sort of effect you want I think you need a bare metal face, either lightly or full polished which is then covered in tinted lacquer until you get the darkness you want.

The ones above are really just a dark grey with a gloss on
