This is my current project. It's going to be (eventually) 
a 1930's style Formula 1 car. I'm basing the basic dimensions
off a 1934 Mercedes Benz W25. I decided to tackle the tires first,
as they given a sense of the basic dimensions, plus I knew they'ed 
be a challenge. I'm quite happy with the way they look, not so
happy with the render times. I'm doing a very complex difference of
a torus (see attached file), and it takes rather a long time. The basic
render of a single tire with basic AA takes almost 4 minutes on my
Athlon 950. 

Here two renders and a source file:
