Update regarding my YTM's Rim Pack mod

You know the other one of my popular mods I made which add rims from other games, and even some of the models were made from scratch by either me (in the future update) or someone else, right. I'm now here to announce the fate of my YTM's Rim Pack mod.
I was thinking of making a v1.8 update of my rim pack mod by adding rims made by Russian companies (VSMPO, K&K, Proma...) as well as few styles from Real Racing 3, Gran Turismo, Street Racing Syndicate, and The Fast and The Furious (2006 PS2/PSP game). However, I couldn't think of adding more interesting rim styles (especially the ones I could make from scratch), and with new Unlimiter v4.1 update and mods adding more customization features (especially gcp's Multi-Layer Vinyls mod which made nlgzxef update Unlimiter V4), I hereby announce that v1.8 update of my rim pack mod has been officially cancelled. No, really. I'm already getting tired with updating this mod and losing ideas.
However, I will remake my rim pack from scratch that, while it will use models from my first mod, not every rim style will be returning from v1.7 (or cancelled v1.8 update for that matter).
I also answered the questions you will likely ask regarding this:
  • Q: v1.8 update is actually cancelled?
  • A: Unfortunately, yes. It feels like after being yelled by that person back then, I do feel like a mix of rims I picked felt a little bit too wrong.

  • Q: Who is that person you were talking about?
  • A: I'd rather not tell you since he's rather, um... let's not talk about his actions either as well, considering what he did to WF4123.

  • Q: What do you mean not every rim style will be returning from v1.x to v2.0?
  • A: Believe me, most of these rims either lack polish or even LODs. And so not every rim style will ever return. What will be definitely removed are rims taken from later Need for Speed games (this means no more Cosmis rims included, and there will be less rims taken from Initial D)

  • Q: What will happen to rims you made for v1.8 (such as Rays Vesta Eins Glace (aka Strawberry Rims), Konig Holes, etc?)
  • A: These will return to v2.0, but like before, not every rim style will return.

  • Q: What will happen to OEM rims?
  • A: They will be gone. Think of Gran Turismo 5 where "Today's Special" (used/OEM rims featured in Gran Turismo 4) is gone as well. Some brands won't return to v2.0 as well, such as Foxx.

  • Q: What about tires?
  • A: All old tire styles will be gone as well, with the exception of stock NFS World/Real Racing 3 tire to keep consistency with it.

  • Q: Will the new rim pack be compatible with NFSMW Unlimiter Essentials?
  • A: Yes. The tire model of these rims will be used for development of my rim pack remake, and rims featured in the aforementioned Essentials will no longer be included in the remake of my rim pack.

  • Q: What about YTM's Paints Mod?
  • A: It will be updated as well, but with some changes to replace at least one rim paint with a new one as one of such paints was already included in the aforementioned Essentials.

  • Q: Will it include stretched tire model?
  • A: No because I don't like it, and I will never add them. For me, straight tires are fine, but stretched tires are not and they look ugly, not to mention about my hatred about stance due to ugliness and impracticality, especially if applied to the cars I like if one is not turned into bosozoku (yes, you may consider bosozoku ugly as well, but I do let bosozoku exist even if they're impractical as well).
