For those who do not have PS, there are many online very PS-like programs that are capable enough for these things and some for basics like this even simpler. Google is our friend

If you are, however, than the wheel part is probably the easiest part of the entire process. (Shameless plug because sheer amount of effort required to apply CF skin plus lacquer reflection effect). Aside from the difficulty of not always wanting to look directly at the car in your graphics which skews the perspective in off-center shots, the Automation models are very handy for providing a 3d reference with which you can do actually quite a lot of things, including painting new things entirely if you so wished.
