I really didn't want this in my gallery, so I just decided to make a new thread.
First off, this is the shot I will be working on. I already radial blurred the backround so I won't have to bother with it later.
Now, the first step, obviously, is to select the wheel (I used the polygon select tool) and then copy it to a new layer by using the "Layer via copy" button. When you do this you should have 2 layers. 1 with the original picture on it, and the other with only the wheel.
Then, you retrieve you selection by holding ctrl and clicking the "wheel only" layer. When you get the selection again, use the "free transform" tool to rotate the wheel to a sort of "vertical" position that a line can be drawn down the middle of it. I demonstrated the "line" in this pic by a red line.
After you do this, do another free transform and stretch the wheel sideways until it forms a perfect circle, again demostrated by a red circle.
After the wheel is in a circle shape, radial blur the wheel to your liking using "radial blur." Line the center of the blur up with the center of the wheel. Make sure not to confuse this with the center of the circle. The red dot indicates where the center of the blur should be.
After blurring the wheel, use the free transform wheel to rotate and squish the wheel to fit on top of where the wheel originally was. feel free to enlarge the wheel at this point.
Repeat this step for the other wheel, and you should have something like this.
If you have any questions, or if something is unclear to you, please ask here or send me a pm.
