I just received my new monitor (19" LCD) and it has come time to start getting some wallpapers to use.

Usually I just go to the car companies website (like BMW, Audi, Ferrari, etc.) and download wallpapers to use, but I have been finding that almost all car companies only supply 1024x768 max for pictures (i am looking for 1280x1024)

Top Gear's site has a few, but they all have the big Top Gear logo on them

Anyone have a good source for some good quality wallpapers?

That might sound stupid, but I always use google image to find my wallpapers... I find it pretty accurate

...Gotta get rid of Ron :S

That doesn't sound stupid at all as its what I usually do in addition to going to car manufactures sites :)

I was still only finding 1024x768 only pretty much though. I did find a trick though, if you put 1280x1024 after the name (ex. http://images.google.com/images?hl=e...24&sa=N&tab=wi) it works pretty well.

Yeah nifty idea you got there.

People at google should come up with that option somewhere, where you could select the res. of the picture. The only thing they have not is categorized by size... They will probably do it sometimes soon

Check out Plan59.com for lot's of great art of 50's and 60's muscle cars. Not sized or formatted to be wallpaper, but right click and 'set as background.' It's good enough for me.
