To the interested here are some images taken directly from the CAD
program I use.

The Jpeg (jpg) versions:

Or the Ping (png) versions:

As you can see, there are somethings missing iet:
- tire corner threads (will be soon added)
- wheel back arms ar not fully detailed iet.

I think I should make two versions of these 2 pieces, because I like to
detail it to the maximum, but if I do this, the polygon count for these
parts will much greater (so, slower to render).

my suggestion are the less detailed:
Tire
To be as it is now with out the corner threads

Wheel
To use only simple arms, only holes, and remove some complexity
from the center, i.e. detail only the center hole.

I am open to suggestions.

P.S.
I like detail, but I don't think that the following items need
to be detailed:
- The tiny hole which the wheel has to allow air to escape when we are
  inserting the tire.
- The two tiny holes, which are on the wheel center, required by lego to
  make a good mold, the ones just near the center hole (one side only)

Eventually the tire text, is not required to be molded also.
