New Wheel for Car

After Glenn had created the car for the Northweald scene, we discovered whilst trying to animate it that he had added camber to the wheels on the car. This would make it extremely difficult for us to animate them without them moving un-naturally.
Instead of trying to make them work, we decided it would be much easier to create another wheels for the car, which I set about doing.
The wheel was simple to create, and was made out of a flat cylinder to start with for the face of the wheel, with the edges then extruded up, down, in and out to create the lip of the wheel and the tyre.
We felt creating the back of the wheel would not be necessary as this part would never be seen, so the back was left open.
For the material, I gave each part of the model a different material ID. I then created a multi=sub=material to use on the wheel, which a chrome effect for the lip, a shiny silver for the face, and a satin black for the tyre.
Here is the finished wheel.
