I am starting a project to build a custom car in SketchUp. Here is the wheel, complete with a tire. It took me about an hour to do :P

I call it the JH30 SS1, because every good wheel needs a good name.

I’ve been using Sketchup since 2008, got really sucky when Trimble bought it.

I’ve got a bunch of auto related stuff that I’ve made over the years, lots.

Gotta start somewhere, right? Good luck with the rest of it.

Someone made a mclaren f1 in sketchup. Nearly killed much laptop that one.

It’s pretty good, and super easy to use. Got it in like... I think 2011?

Holy jesus christ. Still, do you like the Audi Sport reference in the wheel? Look closely. Oh, and that wheel is made to scale. It’s a 20 inch rim, and about 300 mm deep.

Well, I have had SketchUp since 2011-2012, cannot remember which, but yeah, it’s great!

Try downloading Rhino. It’s a lot friendlier to round shapes, so you should be able to push further creatively. It has a really short steep learning curve, but it’s an easy program.

Well, SketchUp isn’t friendly at all to curves, but I love it! It’s so easy to use, and I have had it for many years.
