Take a photo of your car
A side-on or corner photo works best, as long as you can see the wheels clearly. A normal phone photo on the drive is fine. No need to clean it first.
Free AI alloy wheel visualiser
Wheels change how a car looks more than almost anything else you can buy for it. But a photo on a white background won't tell you if they suit yours. Upload a photo of your car and see the alloys on it. Free, and there's no sign-up.
Real before & afters
Every pair is a real customer photo and the preview the visualiser made from it.

Why it matters
A design that looks great on a black estate can look wrong on a silver hatchback. The shape of the car and the colour of the paint change everything.
Most people pick a design quickly, then spend weeks stuck between gloss black, gunmetal and diamond cut. That comes down to how the wheel looks against your paint, and no product photo can show you that.
If you're getting your current alloys refinished, you're picking a colour you can't cheaply change your mind about. Worth seeing on the car first.
How it works
No forms and no forum threads. It takes about a minute, right here on this page.
A side-on or corner photo works best, as long as you can see the wheels clearly. A normal phone photo on the drive is fine. No need to clean it first.
Choose a wheel design, or a refurb colour if you're keeping the alloys you have. Gloss black, satin, gunmetal, silver, diamond cut or bronze.
The AI changes only the wheels. Your paint, tyres and ride height stay the same. So you're looking at your car with different alloys, not a different car.
The finishes that cause the arguments
Picking the design is usually easy. These are the finishes people get stuck on, and they all come down to how they look against your paint.
The most common choice. On a dark car they can disappear into the wheel arches, which you only really notice once you see it.
Softer than gloss, and they don't show brake dust as much. The difference is hard to spot in a catalogue and obvious on the car.
The middle ground most people end up at, because it stands out against both dark and light cars. Worth a look before you assume it's the safe option.
Brighter and more traditional. Best at showing off a detailed spoke design. On a pale car it can wash out, which is easy to check here.
The machined face gives a two-tone look that's hard to judge from a small photo. It's also the priciest to refinish, so it pays to be sure.
The bold ones. Great on the right car and jarring on the wrong one. Nobody can tell you which yours is until you see it.
Why it’s different
Most wheel tools paste a cut-out onto a stock photo of a car like yours. This one uses your own photo.
You get a library photo of your model, in a colour you don't own, sitting at a height yours doesn't. The one thing it can't show you is your car.
Overlay tools drop a straight-on picture of a wheel into the arch. It doesn't match the angle of the photo and the shadows look wrong.
Nearly every wheel tool assumes you're buying new alloys. If you're refinishing the ones you have, they can't help.
Your paint, your ride height, your driveway. The exact combination you'll be looking at.
The AI turns each wheel to match the angle it sits at in your photo, and leaves your tyres and arch gap alone.
Trying a new colour on the alloys you already own works exactly the same as trying a new wheel.
Before you order
Like it? Wheel shops and refurb specialists put this same tool on their own websites.
Your bodywork is left alone, so you see the real contrast between the wheel and the car. That's what the decision usually comes down to.
Getting a set refinished costs real money and isn't easy to undo. This is a free way to be sure before the wheels come off.
Bringing a picture of the exact finish you're after makes getting a quote quicker, and you're far more likely to get what you pictured.
You can put this on your own website, showing your own range.
Yes. Use it on this page for free, with no sign-up. Upload a photo of your car, pick a wheel or a colour, and see it in seconds. Free previews are limited per visitor; if you want to try more sets after that, extra previews start at £3 — entirely optional.
It's a tool that shows different alloys on your own car. You upload a photo, pick a wheel or a refurb colour, and the AI changes just the wheels. Your paint, tyres and ride height stay the same, so you can see how the wheels will really look.
No, and this is important. It only shows you how they look. It does not check PCD, offset, centre bore, load rating or brake clearance, and it can't tell you whether a wheel will physically fit. Always check that with your supplier or fitter, using your car's exact details, before you order.
Yes, and it's one of the best things to use it for. Instead of picking a new wheel, pick the colour you're thinking about — gloss black, satin, gunmetal or diamond cut — and see it on the alloys you already have before you book the work in.
A side-on or corner shot in daylight, with the whole car in the picture and the wheels not cut off. Straighten the steering so the front wheel points forward and you'll get a cleaner result.
No. When you pick a wheel the AI changes only the wheels — your bodywork, tyres and ride height are left exactly as you photographed them. Wrap films are in the same list: pick one of those instead and the tool recolours the paint and leaves your wheels alone. Either way it's one change at a time.
It's a realistic preview of the look. The AI matches the angle and lighting of your photo and turns each wheel to sit correctly. Use it to choose a style, not to check an exact part. Ask your supplier for a real sample of any finish before you order.
Yes, that's what VisualiseO is for. Wheel shops and refurb specialists add it to their site and it shows their own range. Each shop's version is locked to their web address so nobody else can use it.
