Anyway, it appears your rims are really nice and expensive and great for weight reduction but not so good for looks...I honestly think you should lower your SC in hope that it would help with your small rim look. If your SC is already lowered then you are pretty much screwed and should probably unload those tiny looking rims for cheap....Come on green small looking rims are you kidding me? Weight reduction isn't that important I would think is it? .. Hey to each his own....... ...No offense just my opinion..

That pic doesn't show the true girth of the rim let's try this one.... Oh and I could have mounted wider tires on those rear rims but they wouldn't fit in the wells without curling the lip...I am 1/4 inch clearance from the back shock and 1/8 inch clearance from the tire scraping the fender lip......It's about as fat as you can get without rubbing on both ends.........

Verylost - for $1500 per rim in accordance to your link, I must say what were you thinking bro? Man you could have Turbo'd, Supercharged, swapped engines, etc... for $6000.... Man, I hope you stole them or saved your receipt for a possible return....Sorry bro I call it as I see it and I see those rims as a waste of money....Those tiny looking green pizza cutters have got to go........No offense Verylost this is just my opinion...
Picture A and B both need help is there a picture C by any chance?

Picture "c"
That would be where you simply photograph the car again. Isolate just the car away from other distracting elements (signs, houses, people, etc) unless they ADD to the photograph. Less is usually MORE in the photography world.
You've got a great looking vehicle! You could have just as great photographs of the vehicle if one puts more time into taking the photographs. Most digital cameras are pretty simple to use these days.
So tips:
Isolate just the car, try photographing in the last hour of the day, even lighting against the car will help with contrast, and try distancing the car from objects infront or behind it (depth of field).
If all else fails, I say you can photoshop both "a" and "b" photographs to some extent for improvements.
That's my $2 adjusted for inflation...
