Okay, they aren't exactly chrome, but my DeLorean's beaded wheels certainly look like it compared to the rest of the car!
I stitched on one side of a sew-on snap fastener for the center of the wheels, metal bugle beads for the spokes, and glass half bugles to create the rim. I don't know if I'm finished with this part or not... The rims are not a perfect circle, but neither are the vinyl tires... I also used some black twisted bugle beads for the undercarriage, and I worked on the front bumper a bit more. These little details are time-consuming, but necessary.
How do you think it looks so far?? :D

I like the chrome rims. They look very stylish on the car. Very cool.
Looking good! I'd drive it if I could get in it. LOL.

It looks amazing! I was just watching a bit of Teen Wolf yesterday and now I'm wondering if you'll be doing The Wolf Mobile next. ;)
Corky, I know Teen Wolf, but I don't know the Wolf Mobile! Please send me a pic! I need to see that one. LOL :D
Your attention to detail is amazing. That is a part of your art which sets you apart from all others.
Wow, I can't believe how much you have progressed. It looks amazing. Weren't you worried about this one? FAZ
Thank you, NoEasyBeads! That is so sweet! *blush* :)
And, FAZ, thanks! Glad you like it! And, yes, I was worried. In fact, I still am! :o
Sorry, for replying a little bit late. Thanks for your comment on my blog. The DeLorean looks good. I like the movie "Zurück in die Zukunft".
