    I got bored in class

    And designed a wheel out of my ass. I probably wouldn't drive on these, but for my first wheel, not bad I think.



    I have the technical drawings for a bunch of BBS wheels, I think i'm going to draw one of those soon.

    The wheel is 16x9.5. 3.5 inch lip, 5 inch back space.

          Solidworks.

          Yea, It kinda resembles a Nismo titan wheel now that I think about it.

            Looks cool. My freshman year in college (2005) I made an e30 m3. If I had more time, I could have gone into more detail, but it was only a 2 week project and we ran out of modeling time. We got to put it on a rapid prototyping machine and spit it out. Pretty sweet stuff.

            I've got some pictures somewhere.

              Except those are 6 spoke, and the ones you did are 8 spoke...

              And god damn that's a fucking ugly truck.

                  Looks good. Did you revolve it and then extrude the center, or do it another way?

                  You need to turn off active edge display. Will make the wheel look a lot better. And you should also change the material to something else instead of the default gray material.

                    I just started using it 2 days ago. My brother has a bachelor of technologies (so he's done all the stuff i'm learning) and is showing me how to use it, he uses it every day at work.

                    When I turn active edge display off it looks stupid and like it's made of fur. I tried to use real view and it looks weird. I'll give it a shot though.

                      Really? Could you email them to me? I would love to model them.

                        In high school I used to make wheels and e30's every day in drafting class.
