Default Need suggestions.............?

I know this is the photoshop forum. However, I was playing around for fun in solidworks and tried to make my own wheel. Any suggestions how I can improve the look of the wheel? Im only 2 hours into this so please bare with me as it is still rough around the edges. Needs a lot of improvement and is really off in scale. Thanks!

never worked in Solidworks is that a design program? Anyway its a pretty cool looking wheel you got going there.The spokes kinda remind me of the Axis Speed Six wheel

Make another one to go beside that one with a massive 5 inch lip to show a staggered setup.Also maybe experiment with diff centercaps.Maybe something more simple and less geometric.Possibly integrated into the wheel more.I def. like the rivets and the spoke design.Is that lip a stair-step lip? Maybe make one of each(stair-step and flat lip).

Can you render the wheel in Solidworks? Maybe make one set of chrome and one polished.

I look forward to seeing the finished set up.Gonna Photoshop them on a car?

You can render them in every material imaginable in solidworks. Its mainly a design software for 3-d modeling and stress analysis. I will try experimenting with different lips and some of the geometry. Thanks!

By the way Ill post the wheel at another angle. The lip is huge!
