Hi Chaps,
I’ve put a tutorial on my website explaining step by step how to create the Alloy Wheels shown below using 3D Studio Max.
http://www.dmmultimedia.com/3dtips_01.htm
I’ve included all the resources (maps etc.) and texture information for you to exactly re-create this BBS Alloy Wheel. (Tyre tut will come later)
I also have a tutorial explaining how I made the classic RS Alloy - see below.
Hope it is of some use 
Dave
