I like the Clover-Buffalo, I would add more textures to the body parts though (e.g. rubber trim and grilles).

Lots of practice...

 

Looks like you are in the right track with modeling. You car is missing some SA dirt and a strange white smudges on c-pillar, it appears you need to spend more time with UV mapping? making some San andreas quality cars from scratch is a good next step.

 

BTW, there's a lot of free tutorials on CG sites and youtube.

For your first mods they are not that bad. Nice work, especially the Clover.

Holy sh*t those wheels are high poly. And x6, that's gotta be over 100K polys just for the tires, which is kinda out of place on on a base model of less than 10K.

Alot less than that, SA wont even be able to show that much detail it is just inefficient, I believe by x6 he was meaning there is 6 wheels with that many polys.

I believe wheels like those should be 1,000 polies maximum. Preferably lower, as has already been said putting too many polies is a waste.

I threw this together quickly as an example. For GTA 3/VC/SA I wouldnt go above 24 segments for the tyre. The most common in SA is 12, but trucks have it a bit higher.

It's definitly more reasonable. Just keep in mind that you shouldnt put too much geometry on flat areas, especially if they dont deform.

And remember to start simple and add details as you go along, dont try to squeeze it all in from the start because then it can easily get messy.

 

Also, look at how the models are done in the games. That should give you a pretty good idea of what detail level to aim for.
