tl;dr - please someone with photoshop skills take the photo of the word "motorsport" and curve it so i can print it out on a decal and put it on my wheels.

hey RS. long story short i grew up with PC's but my better half is a firm Mac person. anyways, i have a project which involves printing out a bunch of stickers. i am putting decals on my wheels which is easy enough, but one of the words has to be curved to match the wheel. i have no idea how to use this mac (or anything computer related) and can't seem to find an application that i can actually stretch or skew the image to give the effect of the word bending.

i know just reading that it makes no sense. heres what i plan to do.

so what i will need to do is print out 2 ford logo's per wheel (super easy) but then i will need to also print out 2 'motorsport' per wheel, but they need to be curved to match the contour of the wheel. i will attach 3 clips so you know what i mean

i had these wheels plastidipped in white on my old focus ST, and would love to run these wheels again. but since my RS is white, i can't put them on unless the decals are on there to bring in some colour. heres the dimensions of the wheel.

OD: 14", ID: 8"

thinking of making the ford logo about 4" long, and the motorsport about 8" long, maybe 10" since it will curve.

Something like this? I'm not actually that great at photoshop. Photoshop has a warp tool you can use to deform images.
The angles aren't quite right in the first. Second's a bit better.

Not sure if the resolution of these gifs is good enough to print. i have the raw photoshop files saved.

You're welcome. It's proportioned to be about 3" wide, the arcs should be at 8" id and 14" od.

I'm a bit annoyed the warping cut off part of the "p"
