The photo, where you have the camera on the ground, I think is perfect. The angle is great.

well the owner\guy who did my detail owns a red 08 gxp and said that it was fine on the wheels, so i took his word on it and it turned out good, was a little sketchy about it at first.

for other members i have quoted them between $80-$90 for a buff and wax....as long as you arent using the wheel acid all the time you should be alright but i still shy away from it...i use Adam's Green Wheel Cleaner and it cuts through the dirt and brake dust very easily plus it wont damage the wheels.

photography wise, its a good start. choose some more intriguing backgrounds...that green kinda just blends in the gxp. ideally, you want something to make the car pop but at the same time, direct the eye around the lines of the photograph, to the subject, which is the car. also, dont be afraid to take pics from different angles. high and tight...low and far away...rear of the car...profile shot etc..
