I finally had some time to knock out the wheels for the Z4. I ran into some problems trying to create the inside geometry of a 5 spoked rim. No matter what I tried, I always had problematic geometry with the 5-sided hole. The solution: modify the spokes to an even number that still looked cool. Granted odd spokes do look better, but I think this model came out nice. Once I adjusted the rims to an 8-spoked wheel, adding all the details were a walk in the park. I did not model out every bolt edge and such. But I have in place what appears to be bolts. After all the camera will never be that close. I still have to build up the roof of the car and then texture and light it.
