UPDATE!: We’re considering starting a crowd-funder on patreon, more information can be found in THIS POST.
If you want to post suggestions, visit our Automation Community Rim Pack Suggestion Thread
A wheel pack made for, paid for, and created by the Automation Player Community.
What is it?
The Automation Community Rim Pack is a project to help fund creators of custom content, It is a collection of various wheels that are commissioned by members of the automation community, the designs have been hand-picked from existing OEM and aftermarket designs. They are then put into a monthly survey, and the most popular selections will then be created for in-game use.
What can I do to help out?
Because it is a community project, there are several things you can do to help.
Vote & Share
If you are only interested in helping to pick the wheels for the next iteration of the Community Rim Pack, this is your option, every month a survey will be posted containing a selection of wheels picked by the commissioners based on personal preference and community input.All you will have to do is fill out the survey with your favorite wheel choices, at the end of the survey, the most popular ones will be picked for the pack. Be sure to share it with your friends that play automation so that we can better estimate the kinds of wheels that the community would like to see in the future.
Discover
While the internet provides us with more information than we would ever need, it, unfortunately, does not always have the reference material we need, whether it be a language barrier in google search, or simply the rarity of the wheels themselves. Sometimes we can not pick a certain wheel because it lacks image material. This is where the Discoverer comes into play…If you are able to make or find photographs of wheels that we are looking for, or simply stumble upon a cool and interesting design that you want to share, this is also the place to do so. High-resolution photographs, preferably from a straight front perspective and where the design itself is larger than 750x750 is preferred.
Fund
Getting funding is probably the biggest hurdle next to finding a content creator, we currently have three people funding this project. Allowing us to release a single pack every month. But we can always use more help.Our first goal is to get costs per person per wheel down. Once that becomes low enough, we can start thinking about expanding the packs with a wider selection of wheels, direct community suggestions, special themed packs or perhaps an increased release frequency and not unimportant, be able to provide the creator(s) with better payment for their service(s).
If you are able to help with the funding/commissioning of the community rim packs, please contact me (Quotex) on discord, everyone who helps will be able to add their own suggestions into the final selection list for the survey.
Create
Right now, we have one workshop member creating the wheels and putting them in the game for us to use. Which is fine, but if we plan to increase the size or frequency of community rim packs, we may need (your) help.If you have modeling skills, or if you are perhaps skilled in the image editing department (for helping with reference material, picture cleanup, blueprint creation) let me know.
TL;DR So where is the Survey and how does it work?
The Community Rim Pack survey will be posted here, we have already finished voting for this month (august) so the current survey is for September.
Each survey contains several wheels, your job is select X amount of each category (currently sports/aftermarket, budget and off-road) and write the numbers down in the fields, that’s it.
After the survey ends, the vote counts will be finalized and the final 16 wheels will be selected for the community rim pack of that month. The ones that don’t make the cut will be recycled in the next survey, and the empty spots will be replaced by new wheels based on the commissioners personal preferences and community input.

Anything Else?
If all goes well, we might be able to expand beyond just rims, I hope that once we get enough creators, discoverers and commissioners, we might be able to expand into fixtures, bodies and perhaps more. But that’s for another time.
I should also mention that this wouldn’t be possible without Venoms (aka send nudes) excellent modeling skills.
