You are not the first to suggest the teddy bears. 

However, i don't hate the look! I just won't do it. Not cool enough to pull it off when i pull into the projects on a crisis call.....

There is a sub-company of Rays called eco drive gear that makes wheels specific for hybrids. Crazy light in weird narrow sizes. Some cool designs as well.

 

I like the 707. 

Why are all the awesomest wheels discontinued?

That's not as terrible as it should be for some reason.

Eco-rider. For when you're ridin' clean.

 

That probably means something very specific in urban slang, I am an old  Canadian who lives in small town Colorado.

Think I was the first to do it!  Rode so smooth and no effects on mileage  if anything they saved more fuel

Now, can one of you artists move the wheels out at least six inches and put giant box flares on the sides. smiley

Wow, that is fantastic! Great job and thanks. That would make a great body shell for a mid engined super car for tall people. Engine access would be through the back doors. Now I just need to find a slightly flood damaged one that didn't burn up.

Make sure that you sign your art work. Here's a bunch of thumbs ups yesyesyesyesyes 

Do you mind if I post that last version in:

How did you bring out the detail and contrast of the rear wheel?

In reply to VolvoHeretic :

I use a open source photo shop, called GIMP (yes, really.) I copied the face of the flare, including the wheel opening and moved away from the body. Then I took the lasso tool to outline the top of the box. I used the color select to pick a shade already on the car so they would match. Repeated that for the face. Then blended the seams. Little details like the door line and door cove were hand drawn. The wheels were stolen from the BMW and resized to fit the outline of the original Prius wheels. It helped to have a wheel at nearly the same profile as the Prius.

I'll take more step by steps with the new rendering tonight.

Thanks, that helps a lot. Did you see my comments from the above texts? Can I spread your drawing to another thread? Remember to sign all of your drawings you put on the internet. I believe that anything original you draw is copywrited just because, but you should get credit no matter what and if anybody else uses your drawing for proffit, you should get paid.

I was thinking about the box flare thread.  I put my name on the photos. Hotlink them at will.

Not gonna lie, I keep looking at my rendering and I keep thinking damn, I kind of want to but a 1st gen Prius and box flare it.
