Design Your Own Nissan 370Z: Part II
by Charlie Barnes
Now that we got our car drawn out and colored, it is time to put some new kicks. In this case, I chose the VOLK GT-V's. Googling the infamous World Wide Web, I found my VOLK GTY-V's and started to trace the wheels.

1. Using the Elipse Tool in Adobe Illustrator, I traced the outside most radius of the rim. I also removed the FILL so I can see in the middle of the rim. I also changed the stroke to Red. |

2. Using the Pen Tool, I started to trace the rest if the detail of the rim until I got the detail I wanted. |

3. Now that I got the rim drawn out in Illustrator, I made sure I added the right colors to it. Im now ready to start matching it to the 370Z we did in Part 1. |
