well I was originally thinking body in sub-d's and everything else in polys... but now I think I might do everything in sub-d's because it'll be so simple to get a good curve for for the wheel.

And I agree with both you and Hybrid on the 'cartoony' look. It's because I just slap a simple coloured material on the objects as I'm going. It'll get better later (fingers crossed user added image

And here's my wheel so far... I've even UV mapped and textured the rubber part.

Added some disk brakes and made the wheel not quite as wide.

i still think its a ahir too wide. But i like the texture. Are you adding any features to your car? like an interior or anything?

I've remade the clamp in the disk brakes because the last one had a bit too much of a 'crud-factor' in it. I've also textured them up a bit.

As for the interior... I'd like to give it one (probably low poly) so that I can make the windows 'see-through'. I'd like to put the car in a short animation, and at the moment I'm thinking of making a low poly driver for this purpose (so the car doesn't look like it's being driven by a ghost.

anyway, here's a shot of the new brakes:

ummmm..... I've just noticed that the tires are not quite circular!!! I have no idea how that happened - I made it directly from the sphere primative!!! Looks like I might need to go back and fix that.

Well, it's Christmas and I'm about to drive 400km north for a couple of days.... so that means that I won't be posting any updates until I return. So thanks for the comments everyone, and I'll be back soon.
