no i meant it's hard to do rings , like when you atart to model the ring there is no one way to do it right i gues , becase i couldn't ge to one way to modelling a ring or rime of the car that can make it look clean and every corner is conected to the others

I don't find them too bad usually... splines/arrays... Why, how do you do 'em?
One-piece rims are a bit of a bugger though sometimes... like this - [link]

yes one piece it's good and easy and mybe fast but you can't do every thing with it
but there is a Tutorials i start to follow latlly as at this page [link]
but whene i arrays the one part to make 10 of the , it's some how not conected 100% there is some edge is not fit totally to the next one , but i modelled this BBS wheel and i mange out to make it good some how and i will post it today to my gallery if you intrested to see it
but is this [link] can be a min way to do such a ring or rime , like do one part after you calculat the degree of it and then array it? if you see my gallery i did like two of the rings befor but with one piece way

Ah I think I know what you're talking about.
First off, that's one heck of a lot of polygons that guy is using in the tutorial - completely unecessary.
But when you use the array, you have to first attach all the new pieces into one editable poly, and then you must weld the verticies from the new pieces...
That part is a pain in the butt sometimes, especially if you've chamfered your edges, or if you have a lot of polys (like in that tutorial).
It's a trial and error thing... I've had to go back to stage 1 (modeling the first spoke) many times because something didn't align right in the end...

yes i know that too , i just figure out whene the work going to be incorrect i back to the stage befor like 2 or mybe 1 or mybe from the start , it;s just all about the finishing part when wilding virtices betwen each spok that's is all what matters
