Lip customization! Part 2. Following my last post, the lip size is the next level of customization in my modular wheel system. Lip 1 is the smallest size and it increases from there. For now, I've only made up to Lip 3, but I will eventually make bigger lip sizes for deep dish wheels ;)

And for this demonstration purpose, I've only used Face 3 for these pictures on all three wheels. I hope this shows you the level of customization I am aiming for. Choosing different faces and lips allows you to dial in the perfect wheels for your car.

At first, it might seem a bit overwhelming having so many options, but I think it's very cool. Designing the wheel system to account for this customization wasn't too bad. Fusion's parametric modeling made it very easy for me to change parameters on the fly. For example, changing the lip size is just changing a number, and the whole model will reflect that change. The same goes for the face concavity.

Also, having different lip sizes and faces means that they are all individual parts. They are not monoblock, even though the wheel is in real life. One reason I did this again, is for the customization, but the other reason is for multi color wheels. Of course, I can make the wheel in one piece and use the Bambu AMS to print in multicolor. However, that system can waste a lot of filament and also take more time. I'm planning to remake these wheels in different colors, so that will come in the future. Also, going back to the customization, this system allows you to change certain pieces without having to print the entire wheel again. For example, later when I create another wheel design, I can simply swap the face out and it will be a new wheel.

I know you might be curious to see how these parts all come together. I'm sure you can figure it out, but I'm not going to reveal how I designed it yet. Also, sneak peek with something behind the wheel in the second photo 😏

Introducing, my very own modular wheel system! Part 1. For the first post of the series, I am showcasing the three different wheel faces I made for these Volk TE37 SL's. Just like in the real world, wheel manufacturers have different ways of creating offsets for your desired fitment. One of which is the different concavities of the faces. In the second photo, you can see that Face 1 is the flattest and Face 3 has the most concavity. Personally, Face 3 is my favorite.

The third photo is a screenshot I grabbed from their website, which shows you how the different faces look. This can change heavily depending on the width and diameter of the wheel. The difference is only by millimeters, but when you see it in person, it makes a big difference.

The goal of my modular wheel system is to have the ability to customize as much as the wheel as possible. This includes the face, the lip, and even color. More on that later ;)

TE the world!

Of course, my first custom wheel had to be everyone's favorite, TE37's! And for good reason. This wheel design is simply timeless and works on just about any car.

Creating custom 3d printed wheels is a goal I had for this year, and I am really proud of the progress I made. I first learned how to use Fusion by following the "Fusion 360 in 30 days" series by @productdesignonline. It covers a lot of tools, and it was enough for me to make my very own design from scratch. I wasn't sure if I wanted to invest in a 3d printer immediately, so I got these printed at my local library. I have made two prototypes so far, which is why you see them in white and grey. They're not perfect, which is why I am excited to get my own 3d printer soon!

Closing this off, I just want to say that you really can do anything that you put your mind to, even if it's something completely new. And when it aligns with your interests, that makes it even more fun ;)
