Getting ready for another big build that I have been wanting to try,
I woke up this morning with an idea for some wheels.

After adding the tread I played about with a 160 weaving in and out, if the diamond weave over the wheel
had been wider or the wheel itself smaller it may have worked but this for me made it too messy from the side angle.

I then went onto version two, will post later.

They look great Graham. Don't leave them on the floor otherwise you will have to tread carefully or you will puncture them!   :D

I don't think it looked quite right with the 160 weaved in and out of the diamond tread.

When trying version two it looked like the shape for a motorbike with back wheel, seat, tank and handlebars.

So this is how version two came out, I think more wheel like.

The last of the wheels. The metallic makes the wheel pop to me.
