I think that your wheel in post no 10 is the best looking one.

Thank you Eric.

No problem. Glad to be of help.

Thank you - that was also the easiest an quickest.

Remember in all pics I was seeking a reasonable representation not accuracy.

Parahandy,

This is a little bit tricky to figure out even with the Xara movie that explains it but it isn't difficult.

Eric

Thank you very much Eric I have just seen your post.

Thank you very much Eric, it's so easy after all the advice including that wee film from you.

Mini-spoke tutorial, very good.

Reflections on a beveld ring whose angle points into the middle will best use a conical fill. Depending upon the environment you set the chrome in, if you have blue sky, that will reflect on the chrome, if you have green grass or earth, this environment will reflect also. Remove some of the shine factor, too much looks artificial too, so that what is really bright therefore gains the attention.

And gorilla bling on the leading edge about at 40 degrees up from the center line of the wheel on the left side is frequently used as a light source. This is when light would come over the viewers shoulder.

Once the wheel is in place on the car, the shadow the car may cast on the wheel may make the bling lower down. There could be a shadow also on the chrome with the sun at the described angle on the upper consisting of an arc with rounded ends and given a bit of soft feathering.

Okies, Sally, noted all of that.
Thank you.

Intbel, that is great! But where is the nail I keep finding in my tires?
