Evolutionary computations of massive Population I star models of mass ranging from 30 to 100 solar masses are reported. It is assumed that the models are rotating and subject to radiatively driven winds and the effects of nonthermal winds generated by shear turbulence. They are also assumed to spin down as a result of mass loss. When boundary conditions that reflect the changing chemical composition in the surface layers due to mass loss are incorporated into the interior integration of the structure equations, the models are shown to provide a consistent basis for comparison with the observations of Wolf-Rayet stars of the WN as well as WC sequence.
