Design study focused on McLaren's wheel styles

McLaren Concept Wheel

The Idea

I wanted to improve my ability with wheel creation as it is notoriously difficult to do realistically.  For this project I focused on some extra details, like re-creating McLaren's Titanium wheel bolts and details like tyre deformation.  The wheel design is inspired by two existing McLaren wheels.

The renders were all created within  Blender's  Cycles render engine.  I enjoyed creating the bolts, it's a detail most people don't notice but I personally know that it goes a long way towards achieving realism.  I even made sure to paint the brand name onto them, just like the real bolts.
