Sorry man, just looking at the second picture says its been post processed. The key is so no one recognizes it but when the contrast is so different between the car itself and its background thats when it doesn't look right. Are you using photoshop? Do you have the originals I could try playing with? I like the angles you are working with, just need proper touchup.

Oh that was the point for this set, I was purposefully trying to make the car stand from the background. Yes I'm using photoshop. Depends on what you mean by "proper touch up" because that's all in context whether it's an ad shoot or vanity shoot, I accomplished exactly what I was going for and this was no ad shoot so in that case I think this was the "proper touch up"

This is so tempting. I absolutely LOVE these wheels and always enjoy seeing pix of your car. However, living in NY, these things wouldn't last very long.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing what you do next.

Hmm do you mean wouldn't last long as in the roads are bad?
Because I daily drive this car in the streets of LA and they're very strong...
I think some of you might like what I get next

yea new york is terrible, easily the worst road conditions in the country...
even 19's get chewed out, and forged 20's are no match for our 13" deep potholes lol. Really no fun especially at night when you can't see them

This was one of the worst years in recent history for the Tri-State Area and potholes. In fact, the city said it had owed $670,000+ in pothole claims alone this winter. The patches get lifted during the winter when the plows come through and they don't get patched up until Spring. Craters was the term being used a lot this winter, not potholes. Not kidding. As you know, the east had one of the worst winters ever since 1986. However, many still get missed and many don't survive the summer either and just resurface. It's like a minefield. When I drive on my 20's, my eyes are glued to the road -- my wife actually hates it, because we can't have a conversation -- I'm too focused on the road. Hahaha! And it's even harder at night, since the M's don't have fog lights.
Anyway, I can't wait to see your next set of wheels!! When will the unveiling be? I need to mark it on my calendar. LOL!

That's insane! I truly feel bad for you guys in NY
Maybe you should get some sort of foglight?
They should be ready by bimmerfest, if not the week after
