    Looking good.
    It's off to a great start.
    I'd take another look at the transition between tire and rim.
    Also, smooth out where the tread meets the side of the tire.
    It's kind of abrupt.

    @nomadsoul good eyes! yeah i still need to work out those bits i plan to focus on that tonight after combining the rim

    I was able to some work on the rim last night.
    worked on the inner wheel and how the struts interact with the rim
    i need to combine all 7 struts and add a SRT logo and air stick to it
    then work on the relationship between the wheel and the tire
    I would love to hear from yall, let me know what you think

    Ive tweaked alot of the tire last night and the previous night, making the side wall more round and adding the sidewall text....i think it needs to be refined and will be redrawing it in PS hopefully tonight. As well as adding the wheel weights and air tube, i also need to reduce the spoke depth and add a inner lip where the lug nuts go.

    But i would love to hear from yall let me know what you think comments and crits very much welcome :D

    Looking really good!
    Can we get a closeup of the micro detail on the tire?
    Will you also model the brake pads?
    That could add some nice contrast.

    Is this the low poly bake that's causing you issues?
    Do you have UV stretching?
    Did you unlock/average your normals?
    More info would help :)

    Also, if you can go back to the grey background, it was easier to see.

    Cheers
