Choice of wheel discs

I've yet to find a non-OEM / aftermarket wheel disc that appeals to my personal taste any more than the standard SRi. That said I haven't looked very hard. I did see one possibility once but it was on a middle-aged Mondeo of all things and at speed.

The problem is one of visualization. These days of 3-D computer graphics and modelling you would think that someone would have come up with a way of superimposing digitally a selection of alternative disc styles onto a Cavalier image, even catering for the colour, to allow you to make an informed judgement of the effect before shelling out. Has anyone seen anything like this?

Great!! Now I've got to source a pic or two. I, again personally, don't go for the discs with just a few large spokes which seem to be trendy these days. Is there any particular source of discs with a wide selection? I doubt I would want to shell out for top notch alloys, a reasonable PVC/ABS imitation would probably be adequate.
There used once to be a way of "bookmarking" posts for future ref but that seems to have gone AWOL.

Ditto, if Dan is too busy to help, I'm a Photoshop man as well.

Tks for the offer. If and when I can find some discs that might appeal I'll get back to you (both!)
