Tell me what you think.....

[vanish1]

looks like bobo agle minervas

[quach]

rendering looks pretty awesome! im currently working on getting into Art Center's Trans Design program so these kind of subjects really interest me these days.

[TheS13kid]

The rendering itself is bad ass, but i don't like the style of the wheel, wouldn't buy it.

[s14unimog]

Its my first try at a "spider spoke" design

BBS style, sorta

[Ian]

I don't like the way the wheel meets the barrel personally...

[s14unimog]

which part exactly?

[AJ1356]

I don't like the way the wheel meets the barrel personally...

+1,000 .....

[Ian]

Well there's no definition b/w spoke and barrel...It looks like a multipiece wheel face but in a one piece wheel It looks goofy


It's hard for me to explain as I have no techinical expertise in this...

[s14unimog]

so you would rather see the wheel as a 3 piece?
not 1 piece forged?

[bigOdom1]

offset the lip a little lower than the barrel where the spokes meet

[BOROSUN]

hmm maybe because there's no step, its just a straight barrel.

[s14unimog]

so you think I should add a step? the goal was more towards a solid one piece machined wheel. I thought that a seperate plane barrel would look wierd.

[Dorifto89]

Render like...an 18" SSR reverse mesh kinda thing. That would be pretty cool looking.

[Ian]

I feel like that face style in a 1 piece wheel, with a lip, just doesn't work that well


2 different styles that don't get put together for a reason, ya know?

[s14unimog]

I see where you are coming from but the only reason I strayed from that was b/c I was trying to avoid the

"hey that looks like a BBS"

I'll try a few things and see if I can improve it some

more detail?

[Zilvia4eva]

put a set lip in them and also give it that 2pc forged look and you will have winner.....:2f2f:

something like these with out the buttons

[Ian]

you mean a sportmax wheel? No way jose, that shit is ugly

This is the SSR Formula Mesh

[s14unimog]

took off the filet's and added the 3 piece look

gunmetal

[MURPHY]

looks alot different in a darker color. i like it in gunmetal

[GSXRJJordan]

NICE! I love this style (BBS, Work VS-XX, etc)... gunmetal rendering looks a little off, polished/chrome looked great!

Disregard and work/bbs/rays wheels that may have this similar design please.

[Gaelen]

love the wheel man...it's coming along nicely
here's my 20 minute go lol
my server is down here at work so i decided to have a little fun http://photos-529.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v79/27/116/515799496/n515799496_44529_5633.jpg

[Andrew Bohan]

sweet, a sand paddle

[slapinfunk]

yoru going to have to have the steps there for the tire to beed etc... unless its going to be a full cast wheel rather then a rolling forged wheel or something..

also, keep in mind for caliper clearance... the way it looks now, it will fit like an RX7 front only where you can have no pad height for the caliper... goign to have to pull the spokes out towards the face of the wheel and have a deeper wheel hub mounting thickness...

to get the wheel to fit is going to change the spoke angle design / depth drastically....

[azndoc]

NICE! I love this style (BBS, Work VS-XX, etc)... gunmetal rendering looks a little off, polished/chrome looked great!

^^agree. That's exactly what I was thinking and include a kinda RE30 feel to it also. Looks better in Gunmetal. Try bronze and see what it looks like.

[AJ1356]

now they look sexy, specially the gunmetal one.

['90RPS13]

I would rock the black version. I love the spaced out mesh deep dish!

[s14unimog]

I'm glad to hear you guys like this one more. After working more on it, it started to come together better

[SimpleSexy180]

you would all BUY THEM! and for myself also.

[InspireMS]

I like the second one that you did s14unimog. the wheel that you posted at the start of the thread looks a lot like all those cheap chrome wheels that you see on silverados and tahoes.

[s14unimog]

I'll add some more to the pad to give it more clearance for the brakes. Also tomorrow I'll throw together some calipers and 2 piece rotors

hahahaha

[s14unimog]

with 2 piece rotors and colored chrome hardware

[statik]

imma print me out a set, can you draw me up a new motor too?

[cdlong]

that rotor is huge. looks good though. i agree with everyone that the barrel looks wrong. no wheel has a completely flat barrel like that. there's always a step for the tire bead and usually one inboard of the spokes to make the spoke attachment stronger.

are those tires the proper diameter? they look like rubberbands but they are pretty wide so that's to be expected.

[s14unimog]

well the tire profile is very small and could probably stand to be a little larger.

[phreze]

Latest model looks good but where is the caliper? It would really give the rendering a finshed look. Good work so far.

[khmerguy618]

looks alot different in a darker color. i like it in gunmetal

agreed, looks cool like that lets see it w/ that face and a polished lip :D

[Ugly SR]

Just wondering what programing your using for building/rendering.. I've got some digital models to post, but I don't know how to post pics... ???
good stuff tho-

I'm using Autodesk Inventor R11. You sir have an amazing talent, thats breath taking!

[LB.Motoring]

WOW,

thats awesome haha,

I use to use AutoDesk Inv. v 10,

I gotta go back on it,

I designed a full working motion 1 cylinder motor.

[s14unimog]

I think there is a single cylinder motor in one of the demo's. The presentation part of inventor is amazing. I love this program

[Ugly SR]

I use Alias 13.5 (autodesk) and Alias image studio to render. I have a degree in automotive design... Just graduated, Currently in the process of getting hired.

[usdm180sx]

Looks like a jline/iforged/hre/kinesis knockoff. Try rounding the spokes or adding a stepped lip?

[s14unimog]

wow! It looks incredibly close to that HRE. Great minds think alike? haha

[chmercer]

since when did people with great minds buy HRE wheels

[s14unimog]

around the same time when people started tattooing spider webs on there head

While designing you always have to keep yourself in check, make it crazy and far out as you'd like but also keep in mind that someone will have to build it eventually and it's better if you make it easier for them while you can than have them change and screw with your desing and screw it up in the end.

You always have to keep functionality in mind, how, where, when it's going to be used and by who or what don't just come up with random stuff and then try to figure out where to place it, that'll just make it harder for you in the end.

Oh yeah, I'm currently attending Art Centers Industrial Design program, and love transportation design.:rawk:

Hey Ugly(jk) where did you graduate from?

Alias is nice but too much work, I love Solidworks, it does half the work for you, I did a couple of cool little toy GP cars and in the process of making a Ferrari GTO (original) replica, fun stuff.

[cdlong]

sick workk

ohh look at this people skyline for like 1000 bucks
rhd.


http://www.japan-partner.com/Auto/3281/Nissan/SKYLINE/car-for-sale.html

well, it's $2k, and good luck getting that on the streets here legally for $2k. and it's a 13 year old car, no turbo, no AWD, nothing special.

your sig is huge, check the rules and change it.

[markyboi]

wow! a 4 lug skyline

[arkive43]

lol what a great way to ghey up a thread.....bad ass wheel designs...i like em..

Thanks for the advice, I know what you mean though, I deal with that problem everyday with designing these Ag. sprayers. My goal was mainly to give you guys something to look at and just show off the programs ability.

also its fun to design stuff thats more form over function. I'd love to have the income to actually get some of these made. "Where did you get those wheels?"....."Made em!"

[apexhumper]

Yeah letting your imagination run wild is fun, but then bean counters have to ruin it with "It's too costly waaa" Then again building something beautiful and functional is more satisfying (Ferrari 599 or almost any F car, just about any Volk wheel, 240's of course ;) etc...

very well put.

240's of course

Autodesk Inventor <3 !! Amazing program: very powerful tool for mechanical engineers and material engineers. I've been messing with it for months and it seems like i still find new features everytime i use it.

you haven't begun to tap the ability of that program, neither have I

[Yuri]

First version of the wheel was very nice.
