I modeled the wheel and then ran it through a rendering program and played around with colors/textures/finishes.

Here it is with more of a standard color set.

coool, looks real. I have a friend who designs wheels. He has a program that shows the design spinning at different speeds. He designs the wheels to show a pattern when going down the road....

It looks okay, depends on the color of the car.... I'd opt for powder coating instead smile.gif

There is no such thing as a "Fuch" ...

"Fuchs" is the name of the company and also the last name of the founder.
The "s" at the end does *not* imply plural.

Sir Andy, noted and title updated. I suppose if we want to get technical, it's not a Fuchs wheel at all. I didn't take measurements off an actual wheel when I made this, just created it in the style of.

Zinc plating a wheel is definitely not something I would ever want to do, just thought it was neat. I finished my actual wheels in more of an RSR style.

Here's a couple others I made.

Is there a program that shows you how the wheels would look on the car?

That may be in Germany, Andy, but over here I've never heard anyone tell me "Fuchs you."

I think these wheels (on a Patrick Motorsports car) look pretty good:

BTW, "Fuchs" = "Fox"
