|  Can I do this?
So I'm looking to buy some new wheels for my car, and I like tirerack's gallery how you can view the different wheels on your car. However, the car the have on record for mine is not the right color and looks different.. so I'm not getting the best idea possible. I was wondering if I could alter the image that they downloaded for the car from my cache. Would the website just use the file in my cache, or would it try to reload it from the site everytime the page updated? 1996 Chevrolet Beretta

Hi. You can right click the image and select "save image as" (that's in Firefox, should be similar in IE). Then save the file (it saves as a png image, but if you use a image viewer like Irfanview it should save it and open it as an image). With Irfanview or similar you can then save the image as a GIF or JPG file and edit it in an image editing rpogram (ms paint will do it).
Hope that helps. If you have probloems, post back and we'll give more specific instructions.

I know how to edit it, but I want to save it in my internet cache so when I click on different wheels on tirerack, it will use the edited cache image for the "background" which is the car (As you click on different rims, it changes the gif overlay on the car of the wheels)

Ah, not sure you can do that. What browser do you use? | |

Firefox but I have IE as well. There must be some sort of "quick load" cache add-on that does this? | |

The problem is getting one of many images from the cache, not the website. You could get all images for a specific page/site from cache easily enough, but specifying one specific image from cache I'm not sure about. Will see if I can find something... | |

Since they don't allow you to use your own image its not possible, you can only use the images they have available Not all vehicles have been photographed. Photo shown may not be an exact match to vehicle selected.

The Ninja Mod has spoken, so I guess I'll call off the search...

Well you could do what they are doing and use your own image and just overlay the rims. It looks like they start with a basic image aqua berretta and overlay that with the rim style all it takes is a little photoshoping
or
d/l the source code create your own webpage and change the js variable to use your image, but you'd have to come up with an exact image size to get the rim overlay correct or you'd need to change that variable to adjust to the off set.
Photoshoping has my vote thought
