Default Photoshop help needed - new wheels

Since I can't seem to find a pic anywhere with these C7 wheels on a C6, can someone photoshop them on my car. I'm not generally a fan of mixing wheel generations, but there is a real good deal on these right now, and since I need new tires this year, new wheels are always an option.

IMO, which does not matter, I always felt this was the very best rims offered for the C6, for all trims, specifically the C6Z, as clean looking, five spokes for five lugs, and cleaning calipers are easy:

Once you go black you never go back, or look back, as no one gains on you, adds at least 50+HP to any car!!

I’m having a hard time finding good reproductions of the Z06 and GS wheels for a base C6, let alone in anything besides chrome or black. My current ZR1 replicas were black to start and the original owner had them blasted and powder coated silver, which is my preferred choice. Cleaning is one of the reasons I’m looking at new ones, I’m kind of tired of cleaning all those sections, though I love the look

Check with House of Wheels, Bob is the owner, I have dealt with him on 3 buys in the past 15 years, he is at his warehouse most days, located in Deerfield Beach FL, about ten minutes from my house.
He has a very good rep on CF last time I checked.
For many wheels, he offer both repros and OE:

The stock wheels on my Porsche are plastidip black.

Plastidip black only adds 30HP

I have not bought from him in 6 years, and should have know that he, too, is dealing with the supply chain issues.

Almost nothing in the aftermarket automotive industry is readily available.
I have learned the hard way while rebuilding my LT4 and replacing most components, including the clutch.

Good luck with your rims, post up when you get them.
Bob sold me the ones currently on my C7Z, stockers were black, I went with OE stockers with outer red line, his price was the best I could find.

BTW, OP, I like your current rims, you should consider powercoating, as lots of color options:

1) Gloss or Matte Black
2) Also, I believe powdercoaters can now offer a Black Chrome Look, which is very different, and looks really good out of the light
3) to be a real baller, you can consider red / black outer with red / black barrels
