1. Find a car picture that you would like the effect added to.

I chose this, a picture of a Lotus Elise.

 

2. Now using the Elliptical Marquee Tool , make a circular marquee around one of the wheels. Make sure you have captured the entire rim or else the end result might look bad.

3. Now, go to Filter > Blur > Radial Blur.

4. Enter the following selections.

5. Your first wheel should look something like this.

 

 

6. Now just repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 on the back wheel, but this time, since the back wheel is a tad bit bigger, use a bigger marquee.

 

7. This is the end result.

Some tips for future "wheel-spinning"

- When the picture of the car is taken from a side angle like the Lotus Elise one above, press Shift while making a circle so the marquee comes out perfectly circular.

- If the car is on an angle, Like this 350Z Then one (or both) of the wheels will not be a perfect circle so you do not press shift.

- Change the radial blur amount according to your liking.

And thats it! Hope you like the result!
