Making Your Wheels Look Amazing

[Megotastrophe]

So over in the FTC section I have been updating my conversion of three of the Generic CTVT vans into Batlab and JokerMobile and Batgirl's Crime Recon Mission Vehicle. What I think everybody hates about the wheels is they are cast in the same color as the van body. So this morning I had an idea.

Tell me that doesn't look fantastic. No paint...

This would work just as well on vintage vans...batmobile..Americars...Arrowcars...any vehicle where the wheels are just thrashed.

Is that a bicycle tube? It came out great!

[Megotastrophe]

It is indeed an inner tube. I thought the composite shot of each wheel at a different step would show how to do it easier than explaining it.

Wow! That does look great. Nice job!

[Makernaut]

That is a brilliantly simple and effective solution!

[Timothy2251]

Ingenious solution, and now you can boast your vehicles have "real" rubber tires! Brilliant!

[Remco Monster]

Those look really good! Great idea, and well executed.

Amazing!

Hi Megotastrophe, Great work! Can you give more details on how this was done? Is there a specific type or brand of innertube?

[Steeler80]

Very cool idea!

I just used the 26 inch basic innertube from Wal-Mart.
