42171 Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance

Hi guys,
first post, so let me shortly introduce myself: I am a brick entusiast and in addition addicted to 3d design 3d print and I am always searching for improvements ;)
I recently designed a set of wheels for the 42171 to get rid of the unrealistic rear wheels. It was quite some effort to get to the final result...what do you think about it?

I always like seeing 3D-printed parts in use! That's nice that you're still able to use the original rear tire, too, though it would probably eventually deform (Though that's not a concern for everyone)

Basically it is just pulling the tire sidewalls a bit flatter. So no real stretching of the tire is needed :)

I created a picture which is showing a top view real car VS LEGO and real car VS mod

Now to put some disc brake wheel hubs on, which requires using the 42110/42125 wheels to counteract the 1L extra width that the disc brakes add

F1 cars don't have visible discs any more, they are now encased in the hub of the wheel.
