25 Wheel Challenge

I found that with the ellipse guide I was using, going one size up for the bulge in the middle of wheels usually made them bulge more than the reference photos. I was okay with that though, I think making them bulge too much is better than not enough. It makes them look bouncier. I made an exception for #14, because that's some kind of newfangled airless tire, so I decided it ought to have straight sides, since it's not inflated.
After #18, I took a look at some other people's submission comments out of curiosity (is that cheating?!), so I found out that I'd fallen for the trap of drawing all my tread patterns with explicit outlines. After that point, I tried to imply the treads with texture shading instead, so they won't be so distracting when part of a larger vehicle.
