Any tips from the photoshop gurus on how to put wheels on your car? I can get as far as cleaning up the rim photo so that I can paste it on as a transparency, but the re-sizing process makes it all pixelated along the edges. Here's an example that I will temporarily leave in my rides section, hideous as it is, although part of the problem is that the website is further re-sizing my resize job so it really looks bad:

Mangled Rims

The most important thing to me right now is, how do I smooth out the outer edges?

Maybe some ambitious and helpful person could 'sticky' a tutorial on photoshopping wheels at the time, since it's the most common question in this forum.

Good stuff, although it doesn't really address the pixelation problem when resizing. I guess I just need to take a bigger picture of my car. Fortunately, she's a bit of a poser.

Thanks for the replies.
