Hell yeh man its bad as hell!!! How far are you at this point? If I showed you a rim could you model it on a car?? And about it looking real, it looks real except computerized if you know what I mean, is it possible for you to make it look like a photograph??

yeah, the new picture is just a screen capture of the "quick render" that you can do right inside the viewport. it's not high quality. i'm working on what's called an HDRI or "High Dynamic Range Image." the contast ratio between the brightest and darkest parts of an image is the dynamic range. a high dynamic range is an image that has a higher dynamic range than can be shown on a normal display or with a single exposure from a camera. so what i have to do is take several renderings with different light values and put them together in HDRshop. this program will put all this color information together and make an image that will look like the one below. what i like to call an impossible photograph, lol.
