First preview

Getting started

By NICE RIM Updated 4 min read

A useful preview starts with two clear photos. You do not need a studio, but the car and the wheel need to be easy for the model to read.

  • Use one clear photo of the whole car.
  • Use one clear photo of the wheel you are considering.
  • Review the result as a visual reference, not a fitment approval.

Before you start

You need an account to generate an image. Browsing the site and the wheel references does not require one. A generation uses one credit, and the result is saved to your history so you can compare it with another wheel later.

Have the car photo and the wheel reference ready before you open the generator. Switching between tabs to find a picture is the most common reason a first attempt feels slower than it should.

Create the preview

  1. Open the visualizerStart from the car wheel visualizer page and sign in if you have not already.
  2. Upload the car photoChoose a daylight photo that shows the whole car from the side or a front three-quarter angle.
  3. Add the wheel referenceUpload a clear photo of the wheel face. A straight-on catalog image is usually easier to use than a photo taken at an angle.
  4. Generate and reviewCheck the car body, paint, ride height, background and wheel position before downloading. If something looks wrong, try a cleaner source photo rather than generating repeatedly.

What you get back

The result keeps the original car, paint, lighting, background and camera angle, and changes the wheel. It is a realistic visual comparison, not a new photograph of a different car.

Small changes around the wheel arch, brake disc or tyre lettering can still appear. Check the result at full size before using it to make a decision.

The preview is a visual reference. It does not confirm that the wheel will clear the brakes, arches or suspension.

See a wheel on your own car before you buy it.
