There are things more enjoyable than full customization for a car. If you can't afford to bring your car to a custom shop, you're usually restricted to color palettes. But what if you could design your own wheels?

Performance wheel maker HRE is developing the ability to 3D print a strong, lightweight wheels in a myriad of designs. In partnership with GE Additives and EBM Technology, the organization has developed the HRE3D+, a new wheel produced by 3D printing titanium.

The prototype wheel shows off what the process is capable of. And if proven worthwhile, it could lead to producing products that individual customers could design for themselves.

The wheel itself was debuted on a McLaren P1. It had a sharp, thin pattern, presumably to highlight the light but durable nature of the process. It also came with a natural finish bolted to carbon fiber with titanium fasteners.

The process is also far more resource efficient. With traditional aluminum wheel production, manufacturers have to remove a total of 80 percent from a metal forged block. With additive manufacturing, the factory name for 3D printing, they only had to remove 5 percent from the finished product. This means less time processing and recycling the removed portions of metal.

No word on when HRE might bring the idea to the market. But it's only a matter of time.
