You have to have the exact correct names for the different objects in the wheel shape and they have to be in the right order. If you don't or if there are any extra objects this happens

Remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.

Any news about your 3D-tyres ?

what are the correct object names? afaik i have them correct

also what about the tread mapping?

correct object names are;

F_wheel_R_InnerRim
F_wheel_R_OuterRim
F_wheel_R_SideRim
F_wheel_R_Spokes
F_wheel_R_Tread
F_wheel_R_TyreI
F_wheel_R_TyreO

My PC is on the scrapheap but I'll get something sorted soon. As soon as I can I'll release them.

For Tread mapping you just have to map the entire tread as one long surface. The texture will cover only about 1/6 of the tread. Make all the sections of the mapping to be the same length and then scale the tread mapping to fit the tread perfectly.
