What tool do you use to fix this problem (REPAINT)
I've been repainting some cars in Re-Volt (with paint.net) and the wheels always look like this: https://imgur.com/a/REDoo5o. What do you do to fix it?

I think this has to do with how the game handles transparency. Any part of the texture that is pure black should be cut out & appear transparent.
You have to make a certain region of the texture pure black so that the pointy part of the wheel model appears transparent. I think transparent png textures will also work instead of creating pure black.
I think the wheels have that pointy shape as a method to reduce the polygon count. I guess they did that for the hardware back then.

The wheels in Re-Volt are sometimes very special.
Tire and rim are separate parts to save any single polygone in the past times, as John assumes.

In the picture is shown where every part gets its paint from.
The rim is only a square with black (transparent) edges.
And the triangles get a mix from total black and nearly black.
