Here is a rough preview. It's not even a months worth of progress. [Clickety Click]

I have a rough understanding of 3D concepts due to school and OG help from Nobby on teaching me basic concepts back in the day. I'm learning something new every time I work on the mod

I'm a beta tester as well. In addition to beta testing I'm making my first car mod. An Acura Integra Type R with a JDM front end conversion (what I drive in irl haha)

 Hello guys. Once again I had a question. I've searched for this everywhere for quite a while now, but I haven't found the answer.

So I downloaded a BMW M3 car mod and replaced it with the CLK 63 AMG Black Series. The rims of the CLK changed to BMW M3 rims, but it didn't have a separate file to be put in the "Rims" section in the Bnk folder. So the original CLK Rim file wasn't changed but the wheels did. Now I'm trying to put Rim Mods in the game on the BMW M3. When I replace the mod rims with the original CLK rims, they don't change in game.

Would anyone happen to know what can be done to basically install Rim Mods on a Car Mod?

Thank you very much in advance

 Well in this case it could very possible be that the game isn't recognizing the rim file, (for whatever reason, I have no idea) and resort to using a similar rim from another Mercedes. (same thing happens when you try to change the R8 V10 Coupes rims. I don't know what else to tell you other than reinstall the mod, then the rim mod. Make sure the rim mod is renamed to the rims you are trying to replace. Happy modding

 Thanks for the quick reply! What I was thinking was maybe the car mod's body file which goes into the "High" folder had the rims as well? In other words, the exterior (body) of the car and the rims are both in 1 file? Do you think this would be possible and maybe the reason why the wheels don't change?

Audi R8 uses the "r8_f_0x.bnk", not the "r8_v10_f_0x.bnk" file, and Audi TTS's uses "s3_f_0x.bnk", not the "tts_f_0x.bnk" file.

 @a242j Thanks for clearing that up! I could never understand that part of the game

@StanceWorks
Each folder only contains the corrisponding file
High - High quality Body for close-up use (exterior)
Interior - Interior of the car
Med - Low Quality version of the body, for viewing from really far away (Or in the shiney reflection of the garage when you haven't hovered over the car with the cursor)
Rims - The rims of the car

In fact the only thing in the high file that has to do with rims I think is the mapping for the wheels? Not sure on that again

Any other questions feel free to ask (I'm still trying to get the hang of making mods)

 @Audrey: YW! What's to understand ... it's TBU2 (TestBetaUnlimited2 - even in this stage is a great game) ? ! About the files from "Med" folder. Lets say that u have replaced the Audi R8 w/ Lamborghini Gallardo, but only in - high, interiors and rims - folders. Well, in game u will see others driving the original Audi R8, and not the Lamborghini Gallardo.

 So high is your car, medium is anyone else .. makes sense seeing as the camera will always be closest to your car, that it has the highest level of detail.

 @Stancework: I most cases you can change and switch the rims however you want. But in some cases the rims are part of the basemodel where you are forced to use the rims of the modpack.

A good example is the Infinity Concept Mod. Here you can only use the rims that are in the pack. When you change the rims to maybe Lexani, Lorinser or else, you see the rims on the car but without tires. Maybe Tool did that too in case of the BMW M3, so it's possible that you cannot change the rims in that particular case.

Also A.J. is right, in some cases Eden programmed total crap and you have to change the rims from another different car, that has basicly nothing to do with the car you are modding. (The Audi-rims are a really bad example for it.) The Mercedes CLK-rims fortunately are not bugged. So rimchanging should here possible if the rims are not included in basemodel of the carmod.

 Yeah I tried everything I could but couldn't change the wheels

I also have the 1M mod and was able to change the wheels but when i did, it had no tires any suggestions?

 Yeah the 1M is the next example for what i descriped. It's not possible to change the rims on that car.
