    Hi all, More of a request but I'm looking to make an exact copy of a vehicle alloy wheel

      Hi all, I'm more than likely gonna hire someone to do this for me but I'm looking to make an exact copy of my my vauxhall astra coupe alloy wheel.

       

      http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2002-Astra-mk4-G-7J17-Alloy-wheels-Turbo-coupe-/180820265932?pt= UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET&hash=item2a19ba4bcc#ht_500wt_1287

       

      That's how they look.

       

      The drawing created will only need to be for the outer face of the allow wheel/

       

      It's a 17 inch alloy wheel so that's simple to create.

       

      But then if I measured one of the 5 gaps etc, I would then need to copy it 4 more times to create the 5.

       

      I could find out the measurements of the wholes for the wheel nuts but then they would have to be evenly spaced around.

       

      I would like to cut the vinyl a little bit smaller all the way round so it's not quite to the edge of the alloy.

       

      What do you all think and whats the best way to do this please?

       

      Many thanks,
