I’ve created a profile for a wheel rim but ‘follow me’ produces a strange result.

Too small. Use the Dave Method.

The Dave Method

The Dave Method is the clever use of components popularized by @DaveR to avoid the tiny face issue. Sketchup fails to form faces when edge segments get down around the 1/1000" mark. However, tiny faces can exist so the workaround has generally been to scale up your geometry, edit it, then scale back down. This works, but can lead to some issues. The Dave Method leverages the power of components to make life easier. The basic concept is, you start with a component set at the size you want, t…

BTW, how are you planning to use this wheel once you have it modeled. If it’s part of a larger assembly you should consider using fewer segments for the circular paths and the arcs in the profile. There’d no benefit in having the over 16 thousand entities you’ll wind up with as your model exists. It’ll just cause file bloat.
